help! I've already have experience with using a oil based butinox (Java) paint on the outside wood around my house successfully. I've renewed the paint some 5 years later (with the same paint) & had no bother & the finish was excellent& long lasting. I've recently had a new fence erected & would Appreciate some advice on the paint I should use for the fence (which hasn't been painted) & decking (which is old & has been stained in the past but that stain is almost gone) Should I use a oil based paint for the fence? & the decking I'd love for it to have the same long lasting finish as the butinox oil based paint gave but I'm a bit worried that it might take forever to dry? any advise would be welcome thanks
No as far as i know its not been treated at all. It's been up for the year the tradesman who erected it recommended (to allow the wood to dry out) & now it's ready to be painted with its first coat.
Are you sure it was not tanalized timber, I can't see anyone using untreated softwood timber to make a fence and also saying not to treat it with any thing. Post a picture that will help identify what they have used.
