Our Timbercare in Dark Oak has been specially designed to give a decorative finish to fences, sheds, gates and other rough-sawn timber. Its water-based formulation contains pigments that help resist ultraviolet attack. Size: 5L. The contents of this can will cover up to 20 square metres depending upon the nature and porosity of the surface. Not suitable for use on planed timber, decking or garden furniture. Directions to use: The surface you're planning to paint must be clean, dry and free from grease, wax, dust and other contamination. Remove all dirt, moss, lichen or fungi with a wire brush and treat with a suitable fungicidal wash if required. Bare or untreated timber should be treated with an appropriate wood preserver. Previously creosoted surfaces should be allowed to weather before application.
