Decking Oil Peeling Off

Weathered / Dirty Decking / Hardwood Garden Furniture, Cladding... Previously Oiled / treated: Unlike the Net-Trol solution for faded, dirty un-oiled wood etc, for a proper solution on previously oiled woods you must remove any remaining oils hidden beneath the surface prior to re-oiling etc. Aquanet or the stronger Prepdeck will 'strip out' any remaining decking oils, teak oils etc. TIP: BEFORE you decide which solution you think might suit your situation, carry out this simple (no-cost) test... Place a few drops of water on various sections of the (dry) wood and leave for 15 minutes or so. Then check to see if water droplets have soaked in or are still remaininig on the surface of the wood. If the water droplets have soaked in - Net-Trol cleaner will do a good job. If water did not soak in, or it took a long time to soak in, it means some previous coating / oils are still present and you need something stronger like Prepdeck or Aquanet below to strip out any hidden oils etc. Note: If the decking etc has some other surface coating applied (like a paint) you would require a paint stripper like Owatrol Dilunett to remove that. If, after stripping / cleaning,  you wish to treat the decking with a non peel product, consider the Textrol range below or for hardwoods consider the Deks Olje D1. Neither product will peel or flake off. If you want a complete change, i.e. a solid colour option, your answer is Owatrol EB mixed 2:1 (minimum) with any make / colour water based masonry paint. (2 paint:1 EB). Remember it will be a paint and will be subject to normal wear and tear from feet etc but is easily 'topped up' to revive. The EB added to the masonry paint makes the paint stick. Without EB or not enough EB in the mix, the paint will not stick properly to the wood.   Strip decking oils with Prepdeck or Aquanett. Quick and easy.
