Wood Protective Treatment (Black, 5L) - Ideal Treatment for Outdoor Treated Timber Structures. Wood Protector Oil with Water Repellent Qualities. UV & Fade Resistant.

This appears at first use to be an excellent product. I purchased the Clear preservative to coat a new rough sawn fence which was required after storm Eowyn. As of today I have coated a 15m fence on one side with approx 4 litres of the product. It soaks in well and is easy to apply. Has a minimal odour and appears to be both a light solution which penetrates the wood panels well giving them a natural light golden appearance. I have applied various products over the years to fences and this is by a mile the easiest to apply with a basic fence brush. I intend to apply 2 coats so I purchased 15litres in total but suspect that 10 will suffice to allow a spare for touch ups if required. I expect that when dry it will protect the wood from the rain which we get plenty of. Brushes are easily cleaned in white spirit although I would recommend buying a cheap plastic bucket in order to pour product into for application. Update: I have now completed both sides of fence with 2 coats and of 15 litres I have used about 12 in total as it soaks in very well to new wood. The clear leaves a mellow colouring but allows wood knots and all to show through. I would recommend this product because of its ease of application, finished look and protective properties which I hope will last for quite a few years.

Excellent product , goes on easily and good coverage. Fast to dry with instant water resistance. Very reasonably priced.

Very runny, but seems ok. Dries clear cannot see it has been done. Hope it protects the wood on my summerhouse

I used this to treat my wooden shed , it is a thin liquid so it goes a long way and is very quick and easy to spread along the timber of the shed , a little goes a long way too. The tin contained enough to add to coats to my 9ft by 6ft timber shed and there is enough for another coating left in the tin. The light brown colour is very nice , it has breathed new life into my shed it looks almost like new again, I've noticed that water now beads on the shed so it has excellent waterproofing protection and also protects against UV damage from the sun. The can was easy to open and use , pour a little at a time and use it with caution, ppe is needed and care , but it's easy to use , doesn't smell too strong, it's very thin with an oily feel to it , but it glides from the brush well but can drip and be wasted if too much is added. Overall it's a fantastic product that treats wood brilliantly, it adds a waterproof protection and the colour is evenly distributed and looks fantastic.

Easy to apply and used a standard good quality 2 inch woodwork brush to apply. Product poored into a small paint kettle with lid. Used on a new build fence that had discoloured within a year. Result was good. Applied 2 coats and its brought fence back to life showing a natural look and wood knots. I used the clear colour. Some panels were sun exposed so applied an extra coat. Can see the water repellent effective. Delivery was not through Prime so was not next day but product was well packaged. My only advice is order more than you need as it soaks in immediately and you need 4 days without rain forecast to do 2 coats.

I bought this to match the treatment on my new shed and it blended in perfectly. The colour is spot on and the coverage is very good. It goes on smoothly and the finish looks high quality, giving the wood a nice even coat. It also seems to offer solid protection, which is exactly what I wanted for outdoor timber. I’m impressed enough that I plan to buy more to treat my entire fence. For the price, the value for money is excellent considering the amount you get and the quality of the result. Dries pretty quickly, it came be quite strong fumes so make sure you're in a ventilated area.

Easy to apply. Dries relatively quickly. Good cedar red colour and the water just runs off or balls on the surface as it claims. Excellent product and I will be purchasing more.

So far I am impressed with this because I've tried a few types that weren't satisfactory to the requirements. This is a clear oil that is thin like water that you paint on and it soaks in. There is no tint of orange like other similar items which damaged my fence panel by making it bright orange. This one stays clear which is good because despite cleaning my fence the pressure treated wood has green and black streaks from copper in the pressure treating phase which orange tints exasperate and this product does not. It dries fast and looks good . Have built up 5 coats in a heavy traffic area. Not been treated over winter yet but as its food and preserver for the wood itself it should be waterproof enough and will assess next year. Have also painted onto water based white paint the other side and it soaked in non yellowing because water based paints do not feed the timber so the oils penetrated through the layer of white paint on top of pressure treated fence. I couldn't find a oil based white paint for fence so that worked for me. The oils are the most important part, colour is aesthetics. Oils will maintain the woods flexibility when contracting with temperatures and non fed wood will tend to crack and become brittle if there is damp, humidity and fluctuating of this. Oils prevent water penetrating into timber. I will be trying this on other natural materials once I get that far, as its a sealer.
