Sweep decking with a stiff brush or broom to remove all surface contaminates, such as dirt, grit and organic matter, including leaves, twigs and moss. Treat any mould or algae on the surface of the deck.

Use a garden broom for optimum finish. Pour product into a container that is large enough to dip the garden broom in before applying product. Scrub 1 coat evenly along the grain, avoiding overlaps. Apply pressure when using garden broom to remove greyness from the wood and maintain an even finish. The more pressure applied the better the final finish will be. Cover any surfaces nearby in case of splashing. Any splashes should be cleaned up immediately (whilst still wet) with water and household detergent. Do not apply in temperatures below 5°C, in damp conditions or if rain is likely before product has dried.

2-6 hours. Drying times can vary depending on the nature of the surface and the weather conditions. Avoid heavy wear and tear for at least 24 hours after application.

Remove as much product as possible from application equipment before cleaning with water. If cleaned immediately the garden broom can be used afterwards for normal purposes.

Maintenance

To maintain the finish, simply re-apply Cuprinol Total Deck as required, following the Preparation and Application instructions above.
