Rustins Advanced Wood Preserver 5L Clear

Protect timber structures like fences and sheds from wood rot and insect attacks with Rustins Advanced Wood Preserver. It's based on micro-emulsion nanotechnology - ultra-fine particles penetrate deep into the bare wood for a long lasting effect. Since it's water-based, it can be applied to damp or dry timber for protection both indoors and outdoors.
The preserver is simple to apply - its two coats can be applied using a brush or coarse spray to protect any smooth or rough bare wood. When used outdoors, it will be even more protected when finished with a coat of varnish or oil. It dries within 10-15 minutes, so you've got a quick solution for common long term timber issues. You can also use the liquid as a curative for wood boring insects, making it a versatile choice. Re-apply periodically to keep your structures stronger for longer.
