🔹 For best results: treat end grains with LANOTEC TYPE A GREASE to help prevent moisture ingress
💡 Applying to warm timber helps speed absorption and gives an even finish.
Important
Timber acts like a wick, drawing in only what it needs.
Over application will result in tackiness on the surface of the timber.
How to check if your deck needs recoating
Drop a small amount of water onto the timber surface.
If it absorbs quickly, it is time to recoat.
If the water beads on the surface, your timber is still protected.

The power of lanolin, proven for generations
There is a reason the timber in old shearing sheds lasts for decades.
Lanolin naturally protects wood from moisture, rot and harsh weather.
LANOTEC TIMBER SEAL PLUS uses that same lanolin technology to deliver long lasting protection for outdoor timber without harsh petrochemicals.
Coverage and Durability
Coverage varies depending on timber density and condition.
LANOTEC TIMBER SEAL penetrates timber to nourish fibres, reduce cracking and splitting, and protect metal fixings and fittings. Annual reapplication is generally sufficient once base protection has been established.
