Wood Shield

Protect your timber and its beauty with Feast Watson Wood Shield.

Wood Shield is designed to protect rough sawn-timber from weathering, providing maximum water repellency and reducing the timber's tendency to warp or split.

This formula is perfect for vertical timber surfaces such as rough sawn cedar weatherboards, fences, screens and doors. With a light pigmented natural colour, you can provide your timber with protection, and a final, understated matt finish. Choose from, elegant colour tones such as Black and Walnut, or a more subtle, understated tone such as Weathered Grey and Natural.

Wood Shield is simple and easy to use with low maintenance effort and can be completed within one day.

It's the perfect and only way to finish your timber renovation!

Note: Matching Finishes
Wood Shield Oil is ideal for use on window frames where the same finish is desired both inside and out. For a higher gloss, dressed timber can be top coated with Feast Watson Weatherproof Varnish for a Satin or Gloss finish

- If you are coating a large space and require more than one can of Woodshield, mix all together in one large container before you begin.
Apply your first coat of Feast Watson Wood Shield Oil using a brush, roller or spray.
Are you using a roller or spray? Just remember to back brush the coating to ensure even penetration.
- Work along 3-4 planks at a time, in the direction of the grain. Ensure edges and end grain are fully coated.
Before applying additional coats, allow the first coat to soak into the timber. Your first coat does not need to fully dry before applying subsequent coats.
Apply additional coats until your timber is fully saturated and unable to absorb more coating. A minimum of two coats is required.
