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

How to prepare your timber for Feast Watson Wood Shield:

Let's prep! Pick your timber from the below list and follow the steps:

New Timber
Do you have new timber?

Allow your new timber to weather in its final position for 4-6 weeks.
Prepare and clean your timber for coating with Feast Watson Woodclean as per the instructions.
- For best results, lightly sand the surface to remove any grain raise. Remember to remove all sanding dust before coating!

Weathered Timber
Do you have weathered timber?

Using Feast Watson Woodclean, prepare and clean your weathered or grey timber.
- Sanding may be required to remove stains and restore deteriorated surfaces. Remove all sanding dust before coating.

Previously Coated Timber
Do you have Previously Coated Timber?

If your timber is coated with stain or oil, it can be coated with Wood Shield after the surface has weathered.
Test if the surface is ready by sprinkling water onto the timber
- If the water absorbs into the timber, you're good to go!
- If the water beads, further weathering, sanding or stripping is needed.
- Painted or varnished surfaces need to be taken back to bare timber by stripping or sanding. Prepare timber for coating with Feast Watson Woodclean as per the instructions.

How to apply Feast Watson Wood Shield:

Finishing touches here we come...

Ensure your timber is completely dry before applying.
Feast Watson Wood Shield should be stirred thoroughly before and during application with a flat blade stirrer taking care not to introduce bubbles.
- If you are coating a large space and require more than one can of Wood Shield, mix all together in one large container before you begin.
Apply your first coat of Feast Watson Wood Shield 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.

Note: Wood Shield does NOT require thinning.

How to maintain my timber after using Feast Watson Wood Shield:

Regularly monitor your newly coated timber for signs of colour loss, dryness and weathering.
If required, clean the surface using Woodclean, allow the surface to dry and recoat with coats of Feast Watson Wood Shield until the timber is saturated.

Good as new!
