Traditional Oil that leaves the wood popping and looking strong and clean. Job can be done in a day when first coat goes down in the morning. Use this over Aquadeck everyday.

Used it on a recently constructed treated pine deck in Auckland, NZ. Timber had weathered for about 2 months before the application and the first coat went on without any issues. I like the way it soaked right in and the surface is already beading. The hue is exactly as per the samples - it has added some depth to pine but without the annoying yellow tinge of the "natural" colour option. Looking to apply the second coat soon but, given the surface is already half sealed, will probably dilute a bit and go really light with a lambswool pad. Very happy so far - the result is what I expected. The deck is roofed over so looking to refresh it with a light coat every 2-3 years. Well done Cabot.

Oil biased finishes are the only way to go for hardwood decks in Australia.
Though they will need to be reapplied every 6-12 months when it stops beading water on the surface
Great penetration, recommended.

I found Aquadeck to be a very poor finish and are disappointed.
Before using Aquadeck I had half a can of a Cabots water based decking oil, transparent. It was lighter yellowish in color and had excellent even finish. I cannot find this quality product and assume it's no longer available

I constructed a 50 square metre fully exposed deck around my pool out of out of jarrah. Due to the complexity of the project and trying to fit around work/life it took me 6 months to finish. Once completed I waited about 4 weeks before oiling. Therefore the boards had been weathered for between one and seven months. I prepared it according to instructions using Cabots Deck Clean followed by 2 coats of Natural Decking Oil 24 hours apart. It looked good initially but within a few weeks it started to fade and by the 3 month mark timber looked completely uncoated and water was not beading at all. Have just put cutek on it, twice the price but hopefully it will last longer than a couple of months.

Previously used feast watson stuff and its is rubbish. Basically goes on like paint and does not absorb into the wood (my deck is kwila) $$ and the colour has an awful orange tint to it.I applied 3 coats basically over a period of 6 month I Had to sand it all back basically to bare wood huge job in itself.and used cabots decking oil kwila wow nice stuff totally different more natural look easy to apply and you can see it absorb into the wood.Will never use or recommend feast watson dont waste your money its crap.

The oil dries in a reasonable time but if like me you're not doing large areas all the time the balance of the oil turns into a jelly after 8 - 10 months. I've bought the cheap oil and it keeps much better and is ready to use next season. This has happened to me twice with the Cabot's and I won't be getting it a third time.

Was a no fuss procedure. I just followed the instructions and put a bit of time into prep. I did notice that it took quite a bit of stirring to get the yellow flakey bits broken up but it wasn’t a deal breaker. The next morning the deck looks excellent with no streaks.

I just finished 2 coats of Cabot’s Oil Based Decking Oil. I put on 2 coats with a drying period of 7 hrs between coats. Temperature on the day was 19 - 25 degrees. Prior to oiling the deck I used the Cabot’s deck wash product which was good. This is the first time I have used Oil-based Cabot’s as the 2previous times it was water-based product Aquadeck.
The result this time was poor and it has not bought out the true colour or given a fresh colour but is has come out neutral and you can still see the areas that were protected and had a darker colour. Has this occurred because this Oil-based product is a “transperant” product or should I use another colour.

Easy to apply - dried in stated time but it is very yellow/orange. Wish I had seen that it was tinted. Natural implied to me that there was no colour but my bad for not reading the tin more closely. Will be re-oiling with another colour to get rid of the orange tint.

I used Cabot's natural deck oil to restore my faded, patchy deck. First, I washed the deck with Deck Clean, let it dry and then used 2 coats of Cabot's using a brush, to minimise waste.
The second coat went on just 6 hours after the first coat, and the deck came up as good as new! 1 litre does 10 square metres, and with just 2 coats, Cabot's worked out a lot cheaper than other deck oils.
20 months on and still looking great!

60m2 of australian red wood decking. (Plus 100m2 of ornamental red wood timber fencing). Found cabots natural decking oil to best complement red/purple colours and grain, tested all major brands.
.
This week scrubbed deck with napisan (used to use cabots deck clean) which worked well with pressure hose after.
.
Sanded deck. Applied first coat, normally wait only 6hrs, but left for 12hrs before recoat. First coat not tacky after 12hrs, recoat not terribly tacky after 10hrs.
.
It takes time to prepare and oil properly, but the tin instructions are correct if you do the right thing.

Hi I had my decking re oiled by a person and they purchased Cabot's applicator and oil from Bunnings. When he went to apply the oil, fluff came off the applicator quite a lot. It took some time to remove the fluff before the second application and this time he used my old applicator. I can still see some of the fluff but I am very disappointed that this occurred from such a good name brand. The decking turned out great apart from that..
