Kiwila Colour

published

Bought Kiwila, colour, good to use, but turned out bright orange, how can I make this more natural - even darker brown would be good to blend in with the rest of the garden.



Purchased in October 2020 for $58.

Simply Does The Job

I chose this after much research. I used "natural" colour to enhance grain of timber decking. It went on easily with a roller after cutting in edges with a brush. I wiped of excess with a cloth ten minutes after each coat. So far, it has impressed producing a lovely dull sheen and enhancing the natural grain. It's cheaper than most other decking oils, but from my experience and others, appears to be better. Happy oiling.

I read the mixed reviews on this forum before committing to try this product. So glad I went with my gut feeling and bought it. The jetty now looks like the day it was built. Very happy with British Paints natural colour decking oil. Will definitely be buying this product for the next application.

Great product

Hi
Found the BP oil base decking oil easy and quick to apply. It needed to be as I have over 160 square meters of decking at various levels. Makes decking on the place look great. Unfortunately, to maintain this I have been recoating it annually; at some point the timber will become nicely saturated and this may turn into a biannual event.Just hope BP continue to make the stuff; and leave the recipe as is.

Surprisingly good and excellent value for money

published

Used it on our 2 year old deck, which had been oiled with a MUCH more expensive product. It went on easily, covered well, and made the deck look brand new again. Thee only downside is that it remained a bit sticky for a few days. It is a great product at a wonderful price. I will be using it exclusively from now on!

best product for our decking

published

Excellent product at an excellent price. Have just used 12 litres, would not buy anything else for our decked verandah
Easy to use, needed very little mixing. The oil held well on the brush and dld not splash on the walls.
Have tried other products in the past but this has been the easiest to use with best results. Love the 6 litre can, great value

Trust British Paints? - Sure can

After reading the various reviews, I went for the oil based and it was a good choice. After ensuring it was shaken/mixed properly. I had prepped the deck prior by removing old stain. It went on easily. It has brought the deck back to life and it looks a treat.

I prefer this brand as it seems to soak into the wood well and leave it with a lasting resistance to water. Cant say the same for Cabots.

Has anybody used a spray gun with the decking oil [ oil based product ] ?
I am looking to spray the cedar shingles on an old veranda roof with the objective of preserving the shingles. Clearly I am not concerned about the finished look but this is more about finding an efficient way to deploy the oil

Hi Raymond
British Paints does not recommend spraying the British Paints Decking Oil. You do not achieve a full cover with a spray gun and therefore the complete protection of your timber cannot be guaranteed. In using a spray gun you will lose a lot of product as overspray. As a method of application spraying of the British Paints Decking Oil is not considered effective. Regards, The British Paints Team

JRoy

I do not think using a spray gun will be a good option as it will be expensive to source and run as opposed to a lamb skin mop type applicator. Also, you might loose control where you are spraying. I have a 24sqm deck, takes me ~20 mins for edges and another ~30-45 mins for the main deck. I use the 1 coat water based oil, saves you 50% time compared to oil based 2 coat ones, worthwhile considering.

can you use the one coat water base oil on a deck that has been previously done with oil base.
