Darker timbers can also achieve the look, but the colour ratio may need to be adjusted. Please get in touch for personalised advice.

Instructions
STEP 1: Apply tannin stripper
● Treat the deck with Intergrain Ultraprep Tannin Oil Remover (available from Bunnings), and follow the product directions carefully.
● Leave to dry for 24-48 hours.
STEP 2: Clean the deck
● Thoroughly wet the deck using the garden hose.
● Prepare the WOCA Denmark Exterior Cleaner by mixing in a 1-part cleaner to 2-parts water ratio.
● Apply the solution with the pump sprayer – this allows you to dose the decking properly and reduces waste from the solution running between the decking boards.
● Scrub the deck with a stiff nylon bristle broom.
● Rinse the deck with the garden hose, ensuring you rinse away all of the dirt and cleaning solution.
● Allow to dry for at least 24 hours.
STEP 3: Prepare to oil the deck
● Check the weather forecast! The deck must be clean and dry before oil treatment, so you cannot apply the oil during wet weather.
● If it rains after you’ve cleaned but before you’ve oiled the deck, please allow 24 hours for it to dry before applying the oil.
● It takes 24-48 hours at 20°C for the oil to harden thoroughly, and the wood must not get wet during this period.
● Sand the deck to remove any rough fibres with 120-grit sandpaper
● Attach a broomstick or paint roller handle to the WOCA Denmark Exterior Oil Applicator (if required)
STEP 4: Mix the oil
● Your bundle includes two different colours of WOCA Denmark Exterior Oil (White and Natural) for you to mix.
● For every 2.5L of Natural Exterior Oil, carefully measure and add 125ml of White Exterior Oil.
● Stir the oils together thoroughly.
STEP 5: Apply the oil
● Use the WOCA Denmark Exterior Oil Applicator to apply the oil in a thin, even layer.
● The applicator is part sponge, part lambswool, so after collecting the mixed oil from the tray, push downward in one direction to apply, and pull back on the same line to remove excess oil.
● If oil puddles appear in the timber’s joints and grooves, wipe them off immediately with a clean cotton cloth.
● After a few minutes, the timber should look like it is saturated with oil
● A second coat can be applied the following day using the same brush-on wipe-off process.
● Leave to dry for 24- 48 hours. Please do not walk on the deck during this time, and ensure it does not get wet.
● Please store leftover oil in a cool, dry place.
● All oil-soaked rags and cloths must be soaked in water before disposal to avoid the risk of self-ignition.
● Clean applicator pads and brushes in warm soapy water.
