For maintenance or re-coat projects, be sure to read the MAINTENANCE / RECOAT INSTRUCTIONS section at the bottom of this page to see how that may alter the below steps.
STEP 1. PREP
It is important to prep your wood correctly before proceeding to the sanding and coating steps.
Sikkens Cetol BL Deck & Wood Cleaner
Brightens and revitalises grey weathered timbers.
- GENERAL ADVICE:
- Rinse the timber thoroughly to ensure all the cleaner is removed and leave the surface to completely dry before proceeding to next step.
STEP 2. SAND
Prior to coating it is best to lightly sand outdoor furniture with 120 grit sand paper. Dust down ensuring a clean dust free surface.
STEP 3. COAT
Coating your wood in the right way will allow it to survive the test of time whilst looking great. There may be a number of products and options available to you in this step.
PREMIUM NATURAL PENETRATING OIL
OR
ECO FRIENDLY QUICK DRYING WATER BASED COLOURED FINISH
OR
TRADITIONAL OIL BASED COLOURED FINISH
- GENERAL ADVICE:
- Do not sand between coats. Always apply coatings along the grain and never across.
