This that I'm taking up has had some sort of grey decking paint on and as I'm taking it up it's flaking off. I would have thought it would need something that soaks into the wood 🤔 I will have to investigate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I prefer all external wood or timber which has been tanalised just left as it is, because it goes a lovely silvery grey 🤭🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you use the ole fashion creo on treated timber ? , failing that what about a good quality fencing stain , a preservative , not oil based ?

Oil base is like paint and it would lay on the surface where a preservative is like water base and would soak in the timber . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I see 👍that's probably what is on at the moment sitting on the wood. Like you say it needs to soak in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
