Description
The Cabot's Decking Oil Applicator is a purpose-built tool for spreading exterior decking oil or stain over timber, with a lambswool cover that helps you lay down an even coat quickly. It suits DIYers refreshing a deck as well as anyone who wants a faster, tidier way to coat large timber areas than a standard brush.
About the product
The applicator has a sturdy metal handle and a rectangular head fitted with a replaceable long nap lambswool cover. The cover holds and releases oil or stain as you work, so it glides along the boards and helps avoid patchy coverage. When the cover wears out, you can swap in a Cabot's Decking Oil Applicator Replacement Sock (sold separately) and keep using the same applicator.
Where to use it
Indoors: not intended for indoor use.
Outdoors: decks and other exterior timber surfaces that need decking oil or stain, such as decking boards, screens and fencing.
How to use it
- Stir your decking oil or stain thoroughly and pour it into a suitable tray or bucket, following the instructions on the coating you are using.
- Load the lambswool cover and work along the length of the boards with smooth, even strokes.
- Use a brush for edges, end grain and tight spots the applicator cannot reach.
- Clean the cover straight after use with the clean-up method recommended for your coating (for example water for water-based products or mineral turpentine for oil-based ones).
