Traveller Woodwork treatment

Post by jagnut66 »

Hi,
I know this topic has been covered before (and feel free to link in past posts) but shopping in B & Q today I spotted this, which I don't recall being mentioned before.
It's Ronseal Decking Oil.

So what do people think. Definitely better than any varnish for sure, I'd say, from what I see.
But am I correct in thinking it looks a good option?...........
Best wishes,
Mike.

Just my opinion ,I think oil is better than varnish .I use Danish oil once a year and have no wood problems .
I also treat the drain holes with cupranol .

I use Danish Oil as well, and treat the drain holes with it using large cotton buds.

After reading lots of forum posts I went for Burgess Wood Sealer and Top Coat on the new wood on my Traveller. The advice seemed to be that if the car lives outside, as mine does, a microporous finish was the best bet. We'll see how it holds up!
