Cuprinol Wood Preserver Clear (Bp) - Clear 5L

I decided to spray this on to full sized, horizontally slatted fence panels with a decorative latticed curved top. The first side took 1.6 litres, one can covered 5 sides after adjusting nozzle pattern and flow. It’s expensive stuff, not quite sure why, but anyway, it’s very highly rated and the fence panels were expensive, so worthy of a couple of coats. It’s a very thin consistency and rapidly soaks into the wood so I think spraying is the most economical and best option. One panel takes about 2 minutes to spray!I bought a 400W Von Haus Spray Gun off Amazon, a really good bit of kit, and very easy to use. Ordinary white spirit will clean the gun after use.

I sanded my really grotty-looking shed back to fresh(ish) pine and then applied this in two coats to stop it discolouring in future. I don’t know if it will work, but my shed looks natural instead of dyed and I can see the woodgrain better for the preservative. I needed double the amount I thought I would, but I am very happy with the look. The product (clear) makes only a very small difference to the woods appearance so don’t use it if you don’t already like the look of your shed or whatever. (I gave 5 stars for its water resistance and value for money qualities but I have no idea really. It is easy to use however (my shed was bone dry) and doesn’t smell of much.)

Easy to apply with no odour and brushes cleaned with soap and water

I liked the quality. I don't like the price. I've bought a cheaper make for the miles of fence I've got.

This may look a little expensive and it is worth every penny. Easy to use one small point if you have never used this wood soaks it up like a sponge, which means you more than likely to use double what you may think you need.When you have applied the second coat it looks great, where I will save is I will not need to buy any coloured stain for my shed and side garage door, I will put on a third coat as I said worth every penny.

I've been treating some wany edge barn walls - first time since we moved here 8 years ago so probably in dire need! I noticed when it rained that the water just ran off or sat on the surface in droplets, like it does on a freshly polished car. I'm delighted and am confident it will prolong the life of the wood.

Everything I was led to expect

Hopefully this will prolong the life of my new timber gate. Only time will tell but certainly easy to apply.
