How often should you stain your deck? Most pros recommend you restain a horizontal surface every two to three years. That said, properly preparing, cleaning and drying the surface before applying a stain will yield the best results for the stain to last at least that long.

I then applied Ronseal Ultimate Decking Oil. As per instruction on the tin I waited for just over 4 hours before applying the second coat, the surface of the initial application was very lightly sticky. I applied the second coat to dry overnight.
Eight hours had elapsed before the rain came. It is obvious that the oil has not fully absorbed into the wood and it is creamy in colour. The rainwater is lying on the top of the oil. What do I do next. Do I leave it in the hope that it will eventually dry, or do I attempt to remove the second coat and start again?
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner, can you email me and tell me how the decking is now? It does sound as if the initial coat had not fully dried, perhaps some slight over application or if there was a previous treatment that was slowing down or preventing the oil from absorbing as well as it could. This may have impacted on the drying time of the oil, however I would expect it to absorb and dry eventually.
If the water is beading on the surface this is a good sign that oil is doing its job. If the oil is still tacky to the touch after this period of time you may need to think about wiping over with some White Spirits, however if you could email and let me know how the decking is currently, what type of wood the decking is made of, any previous treatments and how old they are or if they have worn away?
Hi, quick question… I put plywood floors downand used a walnut colored timber oil stain and forgot to mix the can at all. It applied well and is a pretty redwood color. I was aiming for the dark grey walnut color. I was wondering is the unmixed timber oil still effective?
Is it just missing the color pigment? I would expect the remaining oil to be a different colour to that which you have already applied.
You will still be able to use it, you must bear in mind however that if lining up against the already applied there is likely to be a variation that will show. If going over completely then you are likely to cover the existing finish okay, but in the different tone.

I used Bio Wash natural deck oil. I have used 2 thin coats in the evening, but next morning the deck looks a little blotchy in some parts. Could it be I used too little oil? Can I give a 3rd coat and if so when? Thank you for getting in touch with your enquiry.
The answer very much depends on the what type of wood the decking is made from and the oil you are using.

More and more people are looking to maintain the natural colour of the wood or restore back to the original state.
Osmo have a great product for this called Osmo Wood Reviver Gel it does require a bit of elbow grease also but can work wonders on many exterior projects. Once you have the wood as you want it, be it revived or silvered but clean, my first recommendation will be for a good quality preservative such as the Barrettine Premier Universal Preservative this will help to prevent wood boring insects, wood rotting fungi and blue stain. Then Barrettine Decking Oil will give excellent water resistance — beads rain thereby stopping water ingress.
It will also slow down further silvering. If you use a colour on silvered wood the colour result is likely to be quite different to the swatches and what ever the condition of the wood I would recommend a test area first.

Fast forward to las week. Had same guys come back out and loom at deck. They applied another coat of the Penofin to the deck. The deck now looks much more uniform in color due to proper application but the big issue I have now is the whole deck is STICKY to the touch and under foot. Is there a product that can break down the excell and allow me to wipe off?
The sticky feel that you have is an indication of over application. Wood will only absorb so much oil before becoming saturated. Any excess oil will remain on the surface and although it will dry, it takes longer and will not give the most effective protection for your wood.
You can scrub the surface with Barrettine White Spirits to remove the excess. Or use a scouring pad to lightly sand the surface. Hi applied ronseal deck oil using their perfect finish pad.

That said if they are both solvent based oils then they are likely to be compatible. The best way to tell is carry out a test area first, this will show if you like the finish to be achieved and that there are no adverse reactions. Hello I have recently coated the outside of a timber clad building in a waterbased wood treatment oil, I ran out half way through and now I need to give a second coat with a different oil.
So I bought ronseal ultimate decking oil natural. I am wondering is it OK to do a second coat with a different wood treatment brand if they are both waterbased?? Would one be OK on top of the other or can they react different? I would like to say yes it will all be fine, but the truth is you will not know under you carry out a test area. The Ultimate Decking Oil from Ronseal is a water bourne oil and so may not be compatible with a water based product.
Or they could be fine together. The test area will let you know if there are any adhesion issues or adverse reactions. I hope that helps and if you have any questions or want to share the results please feel free to get in touch. Some very good tips on here. I was however left with a small patch that I did just after the other parts and which got rained on about an hour after application.
The milky effect has now gone but that area is lighter than the rest of the decking and still seems to have a layer of water on it most of the time. Any ideas? Standing water can cause damage even with the toughest of finishes.
If this area has even a slight dip that results in hold water you may find this to be a continuous problem and may need to consider adjusting the decking in this area if possible. Water ingress before the product has cured will give a slight milky effect and this will often disperse naturally as the area dries out or there is a warm period.
A fresh coat of oil may also even out the finish in the spring. Hey Great site and info! I need a little help. Just laid a new deck consisting of acacia inter locking deck tiles.
They came already treated with oil but they looked too orange for our taste so we bought ronseal dark oak decking oil and did our 1st coat. Firstly it rained 15 hours after applying and there is a milky substance on the tiles, will this disappear when it warms up? Secondly how can we darken the tiles once oiled? If the decking is already oiled then there is a reasonable chance that the wood is saturated and will not accept any further oil other than that which you have already applied.
The milky effect that you have is due to the oil not being cured before the rain came along. Some of the moisture has absorbed under the oil and normally it will disperse when a few hot days occur. If it does not then you may have to consider sanding back and re oiling once dry.
The Dark Oak in the Ronseal Range is one of the darkest oils available, however for a really dark finish you could have a look at the Osmo Decking Oil but you will need to allow the wood to weather a little before it will accept any further coats.
I hope this helps and if you have any other enquiries please do not hesitate to get in touch. We have waited for it to dry and treated it with Robseal decking oil. We have so far done one coat.
A section of decking along the edge on one panel was not drying no matter how long we left it. This we tried to help dry using cool air which seemed to help it to become the same colour as the deck ready for treating. It rained an hour after treatment and the decking looks ok but still damp. We will wait for this to dry before treating again. Is this because it is wet again? We tried to help? Do you suggest we do anything? What can we do for the colour. The rest of the deck will be ready for a second coat but not too sure about that section.
Thanks x. Can you include any details of previous treatments on the decking, how the oil was applied and what preparation was carried out. You can email FAO Samantha to wood finishes.
