What Protector should we use?
Our products are all Wood Stains that colour and create a waterproof coating to protect against the elements.
We do not include preservative chemicals in any of our Protek products as a lot of timber comes pre-treated. By separating out the preservative process it means we are not using chemicals unnecessarily thus giving the environment another helping hand.
If your timber isn’t treated with a preservative then depending on the type of wood and product, you may want to use the Wood Preserver ++ first.
After using our products, brushes can be cleaned just using water – no white spirit needed.
