Premium Decking Oil
A protective, lightly tinted wood oil, that enhances the natural colour of your deck or fences, decks and weatherboard.
Flood's Premium Decking Oil is fortified with Flood's Penetrol® to deliver the deepest possible penetration, added protection from weathering and long-lasting beauty. It feeds, revives, nourishes and breathes new life into your deck by replacing natural oils lost through the damaging effects of moisture and sun, highlighting the grain of the timber for a rich, warm and natural appearance. It is perfect for Decks, Fences and Weatherboards.
Flood Premium Decking Oil is scuff resistant, protecting it against foot traffic and provides a protective barrier against water ingress which can cause swelling and warping from constant water penetration. It is suitable for smooth hardwood and softwood decking, untreated, previously oiled or weathered timber.
Surface Preparation
Cover any areas you will not be treating as well as plants and shrubs with a dropcloth. Wear protective clothing and glasses. Clean all new and old wood with Flood's Woodprep which will also brighten the wood and open its pores ensuring good penetration. New Hardwood should be treated with Powerlift to remove tannin and prevent bleed-through. Also remove any old oils or preservatives with Flood's Powerlift. Let the surface thoroughly dry for 24-48 hours.
Application instructions
Pick a day when rain is not expected for 24 hours and the temperature is between 15 to 25º C. Avoid late afternoons to prevent dew affecting the coating. Cover any areas you will not be treating and shrubs with a dropcloth. Sprinkle some water over the surface and, if it it does not bead up, you are ready to proceed.
Using roller, brush or, better still, a Pad Applicator, apply one coat of the finish in the direction of the grain. With a brush generously apply product between the boards and especially the board ends to prevent warping. Allow the finish to soak in for a few minutes and brush out or wipe up any puddles to avoid film forming. Allow to dry for 12 hours and if the wood shows some dry spots or if you want a darker shade, apply another coat following previous instructions. Let the surface dry for 24-48 hours before use.
