Hello, i have used dwd on my cedar windows and doors however; a year ago a painter was hired to repaint one window and He insisted that Sceneys old fashioned weatherproof oil was better. He sanded back and painted one coat and i never heard from him again. One year on the window (north facing) is desperately in need of coating. Can i coat with Dwd ?

Hi team
I purchased a 10lt can of Intergrain DWD from bunnings at the end of last year, I have used this product many times before, no problems.

I opened the can this morning to find an inch of product stuck to the lid and to the bottom of the can. I think that this product has gone past it's use by date?

Would you be able to shed some light on this please?



Kind regards
Kev

Hi Kev. I had the same issue with a small tin Intergrain DWD from Bunnings and I'm assuming you hadn't opened it previously. I took it back to Bunnings for a replacement. 2nd tin was fine.

Cheers

Hi - we are about to oil our merbau pool deck with Intergrain. I'm concerned about the reviva getting into the pool when we clean the deck. Will this pose a problem for our pool water?

Hi, we have previously used DWD on a merbau deck. This has faded and aged and we would now like to paint over it. What is the best way to prepare the surface prior to painting and what would be the best undercoat? Thanks for your help.

I have a cedar shed (not western red cedar) that I would like to use an untinted or slightly tinted finish on. To avoid getting an orange tinge to the finish should I use the DEAD untinted or tinted and what colour would be suitable to enhance the existing golden brown tones of the timber?

Hi. 12 months ago I brought a frontier 9 piece outdoor setting from superamart. The sales rep suggested I wait 2 months then linseed oil the table. This completely destroyed the finish of the table as it didn't seem to dry in spots and was blotchy. 12 months on it is dry and I want to do the right thing. The keruing timber is used . I want to keep the deep/dark maroon/brown colour. Can you instruct me what to do exactly as I'm not keen to wait another 12 months to fix the problem again? Thanks jaimie.

Hi Di,
I think Intergrain have answered your question but in areas that are particularly bleached, I use a timber stain to match the colour before applying the DWD.

Hi,
I have a bamboo deck that is susceptible to mould even when regularly treated with oil or Intergrain natural stain. Can you advise if use of Intergrain DWD (primed with dimension 4) would be suitable?

Hi Mark,
I'm not qualified to say if DWD is suitable for a bamboo deck. My advice would be to contact Intergrain technical support. I'm sure they will be able to help you out.

I'm definitely no expert but you need to treat/kill the mould spores first or else anything you put over the top you will have trouble with.

Help! We applied the primer but it rained in 3 hours. Some sections of the deck are ok and dry, but other sections are now covered in water and turning a milky colour. Do we pressure clean it off and start again when dry or let it dry naturally and hope for the best? We don't want to proceed with the next steps if it'll just buckle in 10 or so months as we got 6 years (!) out of last application.
