TLC, can you tell me if you work stocks a product I saw on TV the other day, it was for wood outdoors, like decking and furniture, not sure if it was an oil or a varnish, its new, you wash the wood then it goes on while the wood is wet, you dont have to dry or sand the wood, only needed one coat and was so simple to use.

Gee that not alot of info is it, if you have any idea what I am talking about or know of any products that would do the job can you let me know please, I pressume it would make the wood weather proof, my outdoor setting needs a spruce up

Thanks

EDIT, to ask, JJ where did you get you seat out the front please, I like and I want :thumbsup:

Hi, I dont know that we have any sort of outdoor wood product that is only one coat? I will see if I can find out today when Im at work. Im assuming it may be a water based product if you wet the timber first. Most of our stuff is a 2 or 3 coat system, there is a new water based stain that cabots have just bought out but it is 2 coats.

Do you wanna bring a color in like a stain or do you just want protection and leave it the same color? We have a couple of oil based furniture oils that would do the trick but depending on how old the furnitue is as to weather you need to sand or just give a clean with warm soapy water or maybe deck clean. It is good as it bleached the wood and gets rid of any dirt and grime!!

It just depends really what you want to achieve, mostly things that seem easy and dont require a lot of work or a lot of coats are usually not much good but who knows with technology now, it all gets better and better. our range is cabots feast watson intergrain and sikkens, in that order on quality and price, we have ultra cheap ones but they are crappy and you need to reapply all the time.

It is not recommended to use a vanish on our door furniture although some people do, it just doesn't last, it flakes in the sun and if it is something you use all the time it wont hold up to the wear and tear!! I have found the best thing is furniture oil clean the piece first then apply a couple of coats and wala your done!! as to which product you choose it depends you might get 6 months longer out of a more expensive brand but really whats 6 months and the worst thing about out door furniture if you want it looking nice you do have to reapply once it starts to look crappy.

Hope this has been some help but I will definatly try to find out about the product you seen, was it on tv like better homes or something like that?

I cant remember what show it was on sorry, but thanks for your help, if it needs 2 or 3 coats thats ok, it for a timber outdoor setting that is looking tired jsut want to freshen it up and weather proof it a bit.

Pandii, I asked our full time paint guy today about the furniture stuff and he said basically the same as me, he has never heard of any product that is a one coat system, and agreed with me if it was a product that you wet the timber first it is definatley something water based. If you can find out any more info or what it is called let me know and ill see if I can find out some more but without a name it is hard to follow up on.

If you want a cheaper way to clean the setting you can use bleach something like napisan is great as it has the bleachign properties in it, just make up a solution of napisan and water and a scrubbing brush and away you go. once you have cleaned it then all you need to do is wash it down with warm water and let it dry and you can oil it or stain it if you want to bring smoe color back into it. The stain is still oil based so it still protects but if you like the color it is once you have cleaned it you can just oil it using a natural oil. Sometimes the bleach can make it look a little washed out so a stain can be refreshing to give it a bit of life back. Hope this has been helpful!!

JJ glad to hear the puppies are doing well!

I havent seen hide nor hair of Tenties!!

Not sure Pandii. I'm going to help Tristan in his shop today (at least I think he needed help today).

Someone will be home after lunch though, if you just want to pick that thing up. ;)
