Usage guide
Apply:
Stir thoroughly before use. Try a test area first to ensure that colour and adhesion are acceptable. Apply 2-3 coats evenly along the grain, avoiding overlaps. Allow 2-4 hours between coats under normal weather conditions. This product is wax enriched to repel water. Recoat within 2-3 days of previous coat. If a longer period elapses try a flat a test area to ensure product is not repelled. Product should only be used on rough sawn timber. Do not apply in temperatures below 5 degrees C, in damp conditions or if rain is likely before the product has dried. Please note that the colour in the tub may be different to the final shade when dry. Where a strong colour change is involved, more coats may be required. If using more than one can it is advisable to mix them together in a larger container or finish painting in a corner before starting a new can.
Dry:
Drying time is 2-4 hours (showerproof in just 1 hour). Drying times can vary depending on the nature of the surface and the weather conditions.
Clean:
After use, remove as much product as possible from brushes and rollers before cleaning with water. Store in dry conditions and protect from frost.

Great price but avoid the Autumn Gold colour as it's orange when applied and doesn't change when it dries out.

agreed bought today (didn't see this thread) went straight back..
I then opted for forest oak which is a deep rich brown, I am very impressed at the moment

Good price for this product and doesn't wash off in the rain like the cheap stuff the supermarkets sell.

Hot price, branded 5 litre stains are £5 for 5l. But they need re applying yearly usually. Anything more water repellent is worth it in my books.
Currently using the £20 for 5l woostain stuff with varnish's in to stop having to apply every year or two. The stuff made for exterior doors. That's on my fence. Hope its better.
