WoodOil Maintenance
After applying the two-coat Dryden WoodOil system, regularly inspect the timber for signs that maintenance is required, such as fading or reduced water repellency.
Maintenance requirements will vary depending on the timber, exposure and environmental conditions. Areas exposed to higher levels of sun and weather may require maintenance more frequently.
We recommend regular cleaning of timber surfaces to remove dust, pollen and other surface contaminants, including before recoating.
When maintenance is required, prepare and recoat the timber in accordance with the current Dryden WoodOil application recommendations.
