Cuprinol5330417 Wood Preserver - Clear - 1L

This is the third time I’ve bought this, never disappointed and does a brilliant job. One thing to be aware of is the lid initially is very trciky to get off so be aware! Otherwise it’s brilliant, goes on well, covers nicely and gives a great level of protection. It is clear so barely if at all changes the colour of the wood

Good and easy product to use

Purchased to protect a wooden planter. I have had this in the past and it had a green tint to it, but this time is clear - looked like water which is what it is made of probably. Painted two coats on the wood, leaving over 24 hours to dry between coats. I have yet to stain the wood but time will tell if it works! Main gripe - who ever invented the lid needs to rethink this. The tin came with a a strange yellow plastic cap with an illegible 'diagram/sketch' on it. I had no idea how to open the thing and resorted to the internet for instructions.... I managed to pull up a 'hook' of plastic but then could not actually do much else. After a lot of twisting and tugging I had to ask my husband to help. With absolute brute force he pulled the yellow cap off to reveal an inner ring pull arrangement which needed to be removed to get at the product. Again, this was nearly impossible and I had to resort to using a Stanley knife tip to break the seal and get it off. Then the pouring out was a mess - the spout (I use the word loosely) was recessed into the tin, so when tipping it to get the stuff out, it went everywhere and into the pouring bit. According to the internet instructions, it sounded like pulling the yellow top off should have pulled out the inner spout, which would have made pouring much easier. It looked as if the yellow top could be screwed on and off but when I screwed it back on until it 'clicked' I could not get the thing off again without more brute force and potential for the stuff to spill. (incidentally pulling on the ring pull cut into my fingers and I had to use a cloth to protect them. So, after finishing painting with it, I just screwed the cap on lightly, which I am sure is not correct. To sum up - good product, awful 'instructions' and rubbish tin design. Certainly child proof though...

Clear and did the job easily. Water based so cleaning brush was easy.

Very good protection on new fence

The media could not be loaded. Excellent I've listened to my partner for too long telling me all wood treated so after 2 failed bird tables because the wood just rotted, I've finally done my own research my bird Table has been up for over a month now and still looks as if I just put it up. So much for working with wood I now know why the last two garden gates just fell apart (because he knows bugger all about wood) So thank you, oh and all my wood is recycled stripped, sanded and now treated.

Does exactly what it says on the tin!
