Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Stain Medium Oak 5L

Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Stain will keep your deck protected from the weather and everyday wear and tear. It looks great all year round, with added slip resistance. It lasts twice as long as standard decking stain. Directions Before you start, choose a warm, dry day (above 10°C) and clear the deck. To prepare new decking - Most new decks come with a bit of waterproofing protection. This could stop the stain from sticking. To avoid this, give your new deck a good scrub with Ronseal Decking Cleaner and Reviver. Once scrubbed throw some water on the deck and see if it beads. If it doesn't you'll be ready to put on the stain. If it does then you'll have to clean it again until the water stops beading. Allow the wood to dry thoroughly before applying stain. Make sure you waterproof your new end grain or any freshly cut deck ends using Ronseal Decking End Grain Protector. For Untreated, grey and weathered decking - Ronseal Decking Stain will look much better on a nice clean deck, so use Ronseal Decking Restorer to take it back to its natural colour. It also helps the stain to stick, so your deck will look great for longer. For previously treated decks - If your deck has been painted or oiled, use Ronseal Decking Stripper to get it back to bare wood. If your deck has been previously stained, don't try to cover a dark stain with a lighter colour. You'll need to strip it first using our Decking Stripper. Give the stain a good stir and dip in your brush or pad. Check you’re happy with the colour. Find a small hidden patch of wood and try it. Start in the furthest corner, brushing along the length of the boards. Work on 3-4 boards at a time so you don’t get any overlap marks. You’ll need to put on 2 coats. Leave 4 hours between each coat. After 24 hours you’ll be able to get your furniture out and use the deck. If you get any stain on yourself, wash it off with warm soapy water.
