Introduction
British wind and rain punish fences, leaving them grey and patchy. Traditional solvent stains smell strong and can peel within a year. Lacq Produra—a vegetable-oil & water blend with minimal solvents—feeds the timber from within, adds rich translucent colour, and flexes with seasonal movement.
How to Stain & Protect Fences
- Light Prep – Brush off loose dirt; ensure panels are dry and grease-free.
- Stir & First Coat – Mix Produra well. Brush or roll a thin, even coat following the grain.
- Wait 6 h – Dust-dry; then add coat 2.
- Final Coat – Treated wood: usually 2 coats. Untreated: 2–3 coats for maximum life.
- Clean-up – Rinse brushes/rollers with water; no harsh thinners required.
