Liberon Superior Decking Stain 2.5lt

Description

Liberon Superior Decking Stain is and advanced water based formulation containing natural oils the system penetrates deep in to most types of decking to offer lasting protection against UV, water and moisture ingress. Decking paint is easily applied and dries quickly leaving a matt finish which will enhance the natural grain of the wood.

Preparation

• To ensure a perfect finish on timber previously treated with sealer, paint or wood stain, sand and stain the existing treatment to expose the bare wood. Ensure the wood is dust-free.
• Place a small amount of water on the timber. If the water droplet absorbs into the timber, it is a suitable surface to apply Decking Paint to. If the water droplet remains on the timber surface, Decking Paint will not adhere.
• Degrease the surface with denatured alcohol.
• On new timber, wait three months before applying Decking Paint; this will then allow the timber to absorb the paint fully.
• On exotic, hardwood or oily timber, remove any excess oil.

Application

• Ideal application conditions are between 12° and 25°C in dry weather. We wouldn’t recommend applying Liberon Decking Paint in strong winds and when bad weather is forecast.
• Stir the product well before and during use with a mixer, working around the bottom of the tin to mix it well.
• Apply the product with a brush between the grooves and edges in 2m² areas at a time, then paint with the roller in various directions top to bottom and sideways to avoid excessive application.
• Allow eight hours before applying a second coat. On highly porous or highly exposed decking, a third coat may be required.
• Ideally, allow a further 48 hours before light usage on the decking.
• If there are any signs of heavy wear or surface damage, we would advise that a maintenance coat is applied.
• Woods with little absorption require a regular application of a maintenance coat.
• When applying further coats of Liberon Decking Paint, wash the existing timber with a pressure washer and remove any foliage or moss and excess oil stains.
