How to prepare New Timber:

1. To coat your new timber immediately, use Intergrain® UltraPrep Tannin and Oil Remover. Then, use Feast Watson Woodprep to remove any dirt, oils or contaminants. This way you will get the absolute best result from the Matt Look Deck Oil.

2. Alternatively, allow your new timber to weather for 4 - 6 weeks before applying. If you have a rich-coloured timber, hose it down regularly to release tannins from the timber.

3. If you have pine decking, leave this to weather for 2 weeks before you coat with oil.

How to prepare Weathered Timber:

1. Make sure to clean your deck with Feast Watson Woodprep to ensure a blank canvas for your new masterpiece. No dirt or mould is welcome here!

2. If you notice any stains or deteroriation, we recommend sanding the surface.

3. Remember to remove all sanding dust before beginning application.

1. Ensure your timber is completely dry before applying the Matt Look Deck Oil.

2. Thoroughly stir Matt Look Deck Oil before starting (and during application). Avoid introducing any bubbles.

3. If you are coating a large space and need more than one Deck Oil, mix both cans together in a large container.

4. Make sure you only use the best tools such as a quality synthetic, pure bristle brush or lambswool applicator. Please do not use a roller! We only want the best for your deck.

1. Apply your first coat of Matt Look Deck by walking along 3-4 planks at a time, in the same direction as the grain of the deck. Don’t forget about your edges! They need to be fully coated. Note: You don’t have to be cautious about how much to use – the more the merrier!

2. Leave your deck to dry for 4 hours. Go make yourself a cup of tea, put your feet up and read a book.

3. Once you have finished a few chapters, apply a second coat as above.

4. Leave to dry for another 12 hours.

5. If your deck is in full sun exposure, around pools or in humid areas, apply a third coat.

Congratulations, you now have a beautiful deck!

Just like any other painting adventure, you must allow enough drying time. Make sure you allow for the following time:

Touch Dry: 2 hours.

Recoat: Allow a minimum of 4 hours drying between coats.

Deck Use: You can walk on your beautiful deck after 12 hours, however full curing occurs after 7 days.

Do not pour leftover product down the drain.

Brush leftover product onto newspaper, and allowed to completely dry, before disposing of via general waste collection.

Empty containers should be left open in a well-ventilated area to dry out. When dry, recycle the container through steel can recycle programs such as Paintback.
