Water off a Duck's Back?

Advantages: Easy to apply,
Disadvantages: Expensive, Takes a long time to apply if you are using a brush

...There are swatches on the Cuprinol website, the colours are also shown on the tin. The manufacturers claim that the product is touch dry in an hour and will resist showers in the first hour - it does dry if the product is put on thinly, back to that later. This was not given the opportunity to test. The following day I tipped a bucket of warter over it - and it does run off. As good as any product I've used- except the dreaded creosote. It seems ...
...a relative term. 4. Cuprinol makes it. This is a respected company - part of ICI, they make good products and are British too. 5 Pet Safe - I have to assume that the cat and the dogs will not test this - but is it tested on animals in a lab? - I hope not! 6 This 9 litre container claims to cover 14 6ft by 6ft fencing panels - not a chance. It coverered 6. Now I did put it on thickly, but I assume that this was not so thick as to be more than twice ...

Review of Cuprinol Garden Shades

Make your fence last longer

Advantages: Easy to use, a great lasting finish
Disadvantages: You have to motivate yourself to get started

...had seen the advertisements for Cuprinol Sprayable Shed and Fence Preserver and it sounded like just the product I needed. Cuprinol have an excellent reputation and I have used their products many times and always been very satisfied so off I trotted to my local B&Q for a browse around. Currently B&Q have an offer of 3 for the price of 2 on the Cuprinol so, as it is £12.98 for a single container (enough for about 5 panels) you can get three for ...
...but, fear not, Cuprinol have just the thing for that as well - the Cuprinol Sprayer which at just £19.98 for the hand sprayer doesn't exactly break the bank. They do have a power sprayer as well but frankly I didn't see the need so I settled for the hand operated pressure sprayer. To make the job safer in terms of protecting my clothes (and me) I also bought a disposable overall and a face mask - in the hope that the neighbours wouldn't recognise ...

Review of Cuprinol Sprayer

Easier to admire than it was to Apply

Advantages: Keeps a strong colour
Disadvantages: Didn't take very well initially and had to use several coats

With most of the solution I chose to brush it onto the woodwork, as I was mainly putting it onto a bench and some trellis. It was temperamental in the sense that in some wood it absorbed quite a lot where as other areas it temporarily sat on the wood before it settled. It was difficult to mix the surface oil back into the solution, once it had gathered on top during storage too. It took quite a while. Some of it was a little lumpy in places without ...
...I thought before I opened it I was expecting to only need to apply one coat, but some areas I needed 2 or 3 in the end, so it took me longer than I had hoped. The colour however was rich and even and now it has been on a while it doesnt look any different, especailly on my shed, to the day I first did it. However my advice would be to take extra care in preparing the wood surface before you apply it. With some of the similar products I have used ...
