As with any kind of refinish, wait until there are several days of clear weather forecasted with low chance of rain throughout. Hardwoods: Unless the hardwood is very absorbent, best results are achieved by wiping on the oil in very thin coats with a cloth. It is essential that any oil that has not been absorbed into the timber is wiped off thoroughly with a clean lint-free cloth. For new hardwoods, it is recommended to leave the wood exposed for up to 12 months before applying any finish. This allows the grain in the wood to open and breathe and aids penetration and adhesion of the finish. Oil is also really durable and is easy to maintain – you just need to keep it clean and touch it up every now and then. It’s very resistant to dirt and water so doesn’t require much upkeep at all.' Don’t panic, it’s a bit lively looking for the first week or two and then it’ll settle down to the colour you can see above 🙂

You can expect a slightly darker look for the first few days so don’t panic whilst it’s drying – it’ll eventually come up much clearer and shinier. It is most likely that the timber was not fully dry when the woodstain was applied. It is vital that timber is completely dry before applying any finishing products. Beware that there may not have been any rain for a few days but there may have been a heavy dew overnight making the timber damp. End grain absorbs more than flat grain hence why it is often darker. To avoid this brush on a coat of the solvent used in the finish ie. water or white spirit etc. on to the end grain before applying the finish. After 20 minutes, apply another thin coat of oil on top of the coat already applied and then remove the excess oil with a cotton cloth. This will ensure the timber has soaked up enough oil to provide good protection. Then leave the area to dry for at least 24 hours before use. I have stripped the wood but the finish I have applied has not taken to the wood properly and has dried streaky. What should I do?

5 Litre

We recommend using the clear version, as it delivers a beautifully natural finish. The same can't quite be said about the teak colour, as it's a little orange. Drying time is pretty sensible. Touch dry won’t take long at all if your timber was bone dry, but give it 24 hours after the last coat before you walk on it or put anything heavy down. It seems to darken a little for the first few days but brightens up as it fully cures. Pros: Our courier will return the parcel to their depot and try to deliver it on the next available working day.

Give it a goo while to dry – you can’t just rush in. I left my timber to dry for nearly a week as it had been thoroughly soaked and was damp for a fair while in places the sun doesn’t reach much. Obviously if you’re directly exposed to sunlight your timber will be ready to go much faster. I do warn though, don’t get too close or you risk ripping the grain and making it furry! Allow to penetrate for 15 to 30 minutes, then apply the second coat without waiting for the first to dry It’s designed to penetrate deep into the wood to replace the natural oils lost over time through weathering, and to offer deep-seated protection against splitting and drying, while the tinted oil brings out the colour in greyed wood for a fresh look. Our courier will send you a 1-hour delivery window on the day of delivery and you have the option to change this if required at no extra charge or you can also let the courier know that you want the parcel left in a safe place.

An hour after the second coating has gone on, test out a patch by scrubbing it thoroughly with a scrubbing brush – make sure that the stain has been removed completely. We will be happy to organise an exchange for the correct goods at no extra charge to yourself, please get in touch to organise this. Faulty Items Once you’re finished, leave the oil to dry out completely for around 24 hours, then repeat the process as necessary (two or three coats are generally required for the best results). the type of wood being applied to: Hard woods (such as cedar) will give a lighter shade with the same oil than a soft wood (such as pine). The more the oil can saturate the wood grain, the darker the appearance of the finish.

Oils often come in natural colours or clear, and enhance the natural appearance of your wood,' explains Jimmy Englezos, senior product manager at Sherwin-Williams. When you look at the finish you can’t help but feel this is going to be sub standard, however when you really get into this product you realise it’s the real deal. The anti sip formula really is anti slip, you’ll notice the difference day one when its wet, just how much more effective this is. The clear satin look is lovely too. You’ll definitely want that test patch though to make sure its the finish you’re looking for. Apart from that you can expect a decent bit of protection from dirt and grime too. It’s formula will give a decent wearing finish. With your gloves on, shake the solution, pour it out into a suitable container, then stir it up using a paint brush. Stir the oil up, pour it out into a suitable container, and apply it to raised features such as railings using your paint brush – use long, even strokes as if you were painting a wall. The last piece of good news is the different colours – follow this link and you’ll be able to find the colour you’re looking for, be it lighter or darker. However, don’t trust in the picture on the product, still give yourself a chance of maintaining sanity and do a test patch 😀Wet the wood first with water and then sand smooth and leave to dry before applying water-based products. One thing you’ll notice is the busier areas will fade first, sorry for pointing out the obvious but it was more in relation to the manufacturer comments with regards to UV filters – you have no worry at all about this product failing through sunlight, the wear and tear is the only issue with oils. Wood has naturally occurring oils which seep out – as will this oil, or any other you choose from the review for that matter. Pros:
