Cuprinol Garden Furniture Restorer

Usage guide

Cuprinol Garden Furniture Restorer is a fast acting gel that takes just 15 minutes to work to restore the original colour of teak and other hardwood. It is ideal for renovating weathered garden furniture before applying a protective Cuprinol finish.

Where to use

For use on weathered hardwood garden furniture. Can also be used on other hardwood garden features such as planters, pergolas etc.

How much is needed

A 1L tub is normally sufficient for: 8m².

Preparing the job

Remove excessive dirt and soiling with a stiff bristle brush.

How to apply

Stir thoroughly before use. Wearing suitable protective gloves, apply liberally with a paint brush. The wood will start to lighten in colour. Immediately after application, work into the surface of the wood using a mild abrasive scrubbing pad or stiff bristle brush. Leave to stand until no further lightening occurs, but for no more than 15 minutes. Work manageable areas at a time so that application, abrasion and washing off can be completed within 15 minutes. Wash off with plenty of water using a watering can or hose. Do not use a high pressure washer. Allow the furniture to dry thoroughly before use. In cases of severe weathering a further coat may be necessary to fully restore the colour. If necessary, sand the wood to remove loose fibres and give a smooth base before finishing with an appropriate oil or stain. Do not apply in temperatures below 5C or if rain is likely before the job is complete. Protect any areas underneath the garden furniture being restored. Cuprinol Garden Furniture Restorer should not be allowed to come into contact with grass or plants as it may cause browning or die-back. When washing off, avoid splashing onto plants or grass. If this occurs, dilute splashes with copious amounts of water.

Drying time

16 hours. Allow to dry thoroughly before applying a protective finish.

Cleaning and storage

After use, remove as much material as possible from brushes before cleaning with clean water. Do not use or store in extremes of temperature and protect from frost. Clean up any spills while still wet. Reseal can after use.

Always read the pack instructions carefully before use.
