Deck & Timber Care

Feast Watson Outdoor Furniture Oil in Clear is a penetrating timber oil made to protect outdoor furniture while keeping the natural look of the wood, supplied here in a 1L can. It soaks into the surface rather than sitting on top, so it leaves a natural matt finish that lets the grain and texture show through.About the formulaAn oil-based, one-component formula enriched with eucalyptus oil. It is designed to resist mould and to give excellent water resistance, and the film is penetrating, so it is not expected to crack or flake. The Clear colour keeps the timber's own tone. It is not recommended for direct sunlight or extreme conditions. If you want a higher level of UV protection, choose one of the tinted colours in the range (Hardwood, Jarrah, Teak or Weathered Grey).Where to use itIndoors: not the intended use, as this oil is made for outdoor timber.Outdoors: timber outdoor furniture such as chairs, tables and benches, plus timber BBQ trolleys.Suitable for exterior timber furniture. Test a small, hidden area first if you are unsure how your timber will look.How to use itClean the furniture first with Feast Watson Woodclean to remove dirt, oil, wax and grease, then let it dry fully. Stir the oil thoroughly before and during use so the colour stays even. If you need more than one can, combine them in a larger container first. Apply the first coat with a quality brush, working in sections along the grain and fully coating edges and end grain. A roller or applicator pad can also be used. Let the oil soak in, then wipe off any excess with a brush or clean cloth. Leave it for 12 hours before applying a second coat. For chairs and benches, start on the inside of the legs, then move up to the seat and finish with the back. Clean brushes and tools with mineral turpentine.Important notesAllow about 12 hours between coats. Touch dry time is around 6 hours at 25°C and 50% humidity, and cooler or more humid conditions will take longer. Do not apply below 10°C, in very hot weather, or when rain or heavy dew is expected while the coating dries. Two coats are recommended, and the manufacturer lists a spread rate of about 6m² per litre, which varies with the timber. Over time, watch for colour loss, dryness and weathering. When that happens, clean with Woodclean and apply one maintenance coat. Soak used rags and cloths in water before disposing of them.Specifications Brand Feast Watson Product Outdoor Furniture Oil Size 1L Colour Clear Base Oil-based, with eucalyptus oil Finish Matt Application Brush, roller or applicator pad Coats 2 Recoat time 12 hours Spread rate About 6m² per litre Minimum application temperature 10°C Clean up Mineral turpentine Use Exterior timber furniture, BBQ trolleys and benches SafetyUse in a well-ventilated area and keep away from heat, sparks and open flame.

Cabot's Aquadeck in Merbau is a water-based, low odour decking oil that protects and enriches exterior timber, supplied here in a 4L pack for decks, pergolas, fences and outdoor furniture. It combines natural oils with an acrylic protective layer, and Cabot's says it lasts twice as long as traditional oil-based decking oils when applied as directed.About the formulaAquadeck uses a dual technology approach. Natural oils soak into the timber to nourish it, while an acrylic barrier forms on the surface to help guard against UV, water, dirt and mould. The Merbau shade gives a lightly pigmented, semi-transparent, matt finish that lets the grain show through. It is water-based, so tools clean up with water, and it is splatter resistant.Where to use itIndoors: not intended for interior use.Outdoors: timber decks, pergolas, fences, gates, screening and garden furniture.Suitable for new, weathered or previously coated exterior timber. Existing coatings can be recoated without sanding if they are at least 30 days old and in good condition.How to use itPreparation depends on the timber: New bare timber: scrub the damp timber with Cabot's New Timber Prep to draw out tannins and oils, then wash with Cabot's Deck Clean. Squeegee off excess water and let the timber dry for at least 1 hour (longer in cool conditions). Alternatively, let new timber weather for 4 to 6 weeks (about 2 weeks for new treated pine, or follow the timber maker's advice), then clean with Deck Clean. Previously coated with Aquadeck: clean with Cabot's Deck Clean. Other existing coatings (oiled, stained, varnished or painted): treat with New Timber Prep, then clean with Deck Clean for the best adhesion. Weathered or grey timber: clean with Deck Clean. Stir thoroughly with a broad, flat paddle before and during use. Apply with a brush or a Cabot's decking applicator. Apply two coats and leave about 1 hour between coats. For harsh exposure such as full sun or pool surrounds, apply three coats. Fill any holes or imperfections with a suitable timber putty after the first coat. Clean tools with water.Important notesThe final look depends on the condition and colour of any existing coating. If the old coating is peeling, flaking, uneven or darker than the Merbau shade, strip it or sand back to bare timber, then clean with Deck Clean. Use at temperatures of 10°C or above. Cooler conditions slow drying. Check coated timber about every 12 months, as water repellency and colour will change with weathering. Not for interior use.Specifications Brand Cabot's Product Aquadeck Exterior Decking Oil Size 4L Colour Merbau Base Water-based Finish Matt, semi-transparent Application Brush or Cabot's decking applicator Touch dry 20 minutes Recoat time 1 hour Coverage 12 m² per litre Minimum application temperature 10°C Clean up Water Use Exterior only SafetyWork in a well-ventilated area and avoid contact with eyes and skin.
