Liberon Decking Oil 5 Litre - Clear

Product Information

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: 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. 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:

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. 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. 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.'The age of the wood. Newer wood will have a higher moisture content and be tighter grained, allowing less oil to be absorbed than older wood which will look darker with the same oil. 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. 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. 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 🙂

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. 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?

Faulty ItemsHardwoods: 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. As with any kind of refinish, wait until there are several days of clear weather forecasted with low chance of rain throughout.

Apply the stripper to the first section using long, even strokes. Do not walk on a section that has stripper on it.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! 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. 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.

Our courier will return the parcel to their depot and try to deliver it on the next available working day.With your gloves on, shake the solution, pour it out into a suitable container, then stir it up using a paint brush. It is vital when using stripper or bleacher to neutralise the wood thoroughly before applying any finishing products. We recommend Wax & Polish Remover to neutralise stripper and bleacher. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before commencing the wax, oil or varnish process. When using water-based varnishes wood bleacher must be rinsed thoroughly to remove all residues.
