The Cuprinol paint offers a rich semi-transparent colour with a tough durable finish. It contains invisible anti-slip microbeads to improve grip, protect the surface from mould and ultimately improve the safety of the decking. It provides long lasting wear and weather protection and dries to a semi-transparent coloured finish.
Please select from our range of great colours, including: Black Ash, Cedar Fall, Hampshire Oak and Urban Slate.
Prepare
Ensure decked areas are swept with a stiff brush or broom to remove all surface dirt, debris and other surface contaminates.
Apply
Stir thoroughly before use. Final colour will depend upon wood type, previous treatment and the number of coats applied. Apply 2-3 coats evenly along the grain, avoiding overlaps. When applying subsequent coats, allow each coat to dry fully before recoating. Avoid heavy wear and tear for a few days after application. On previously stained decking, touch up bare areas and allow to dry before finishing with further coats. Do not apply in temperatures below 5C, in damp conditions or if rain is likely before the product has dried. If using more than one can it is advisable to mix them together in a larger container or finish in a corner before starting a new can.
Dry
2-6 hours. Drying times can vary depending on the nature of the surface and the weather conditions.
Clean
Remove as much stain as possible from brushes and rollers before cleaning with water. Do not use or store in extremes of temperature or wet conditions.
Aftercare
To maintain the surface finish and its anti-slip properties, re-apply a fresh coat of Cuprinol Anti-Slip Decking Stain when the surface starts to show signs of wear, following the Preparation and Application instructions above.
For the curious.
I have applied two cans of decking stain and I appear to be getting two different shades. Why is this?
On occasion you can get a slight batch-to-batch variation between cans. However if the shades are very different this is usually attributable to a lack of stirring before and during application. If the product has been in store for a while then the pigments and thickeners can settle to the bottom of the can; vigorously shaking and stirring the product (with a flat bladed instrument - like a pallet knife) should help achieve a more uniform and consistent colour.
