Cuprinol Shed & Fence Protector(FP) is a lightly tinted formulation that penetrates deep into the wood to give natural, rustic looking colour to both rough sawn and smooth planed timber. It also contains water repellents to help resist rain penetration.

How much is needed
The 5 litre can covers up to 30m² with 2-3 coats. Coverage can vary depending on application method and the condition and nature of the surface.

Preparing the job
Surfaces should be dry and free from bark, dust, dirt and surface coatings including paint or varnish. Remove any algae, lichen, fungi or moss using an appropriate fungicidal wash or cleaner designed for the job.

How to apply
Shake tin well before use and frequently during use. This is important to achieve a uniform colour. Apply 2-3 uniform coats with a brush. Apply the second coat after the first has soaked in. The exact colour may be affected by any previous treatment and is darker on sawn, more absorbent, weathered and dark wood. Try a representative area first, to ensure acceptable appearance when dry. Protect plants during application. Allow treated fences etc. to dry thoroughly before refixing plants. Do not splash on plastic, plaster, paint or masonry. Do not spill on asphalt, bitumen, bitumen felt, tar or mastics. Bitumen, rubber and some plastic based materials may soften or swell in contact with the fluid or solvent vapour.

Drying time
2-5 days. Drying times can vary depending on the nature of the surface and the weather conditions.

Cleaning and storage
Clean equipment with white spirit. Remove as much preserver as possible from brushes before cleaning. For best results use Polycell Brush Cleaner. Do not use or store in extremes of temperature.
