RonsealRSLDRPC5L 5 Litre Decking Rescue Paint - Chestnut

Every summer for 6 years my husband has said he should paint the decking... Outdoor workouts during lockdown revealed to me the state of the wood. It was starting to splinter and split, so I decided to take matters in to my own hands. This product was almost half price on Amazon compared with B&Q, with next day Prime delivery so that was the deciding factor in which colour I bought. I followed the instructions on the tin - scrubbed the wood with decking cleaner, pressure washed it off until it was clear (which took ages!) then painted it with a brush once it was dry. I very nearly managed to do the whole decking area with one coat of one tin but I ended up having to buy a second one for the last couple of metres of a few decking strips. Great coverage and I’m confident it’s now protected against the elements.

To use, this stuff is great, only thing is I bought it a few months back and waited for some good weather to use it. So, it was never opened in that time. I opened it yesterday, no damage to the outer box or the brown paper packing, but somebody must have dropped the tin before packing as the lid was dented right on the lip, so that bit was actually lifted up. The person then continued to sticksome tape over the top of the lid, not even trying to seal it shut. Then they stuck it in a plastic bag. So when I opened the bag it was filled with paint, just a bloody mess, so lost about a litre of it. As you can see in the photos. I decanted some into a 2.5 litre tin and was left with out a inch in ths bottom. Not happy and wont be buying this from you again.

Loved the colour of this paint but found I had to go over it 3 times to get it an even colour, but it has nicely waterproofed my decking which after about 6 weeks and a lot of rain is still looking good

In the past I've used decking stain on my decking. Never again. This product although a little more expensive than decking stain, its so worth it. Looks great too !!

I bought a tin of rescue paint and painted my top decking and it looked good. I reordered from the same company to complete the rest of my decking. I used status car care and I should have realised by the name of the company they were not the best company to use! The tin arrived and when the weekend came I started to paint my decking. After a couple of strips I could see the paint was not as good and very thin. It is then I noticed I had not been sent rescue paint but ultimate protection a different Ronseal product. I complained to status car care who were very unhelpful telling me to contact Ronseal not them. I did contact Ronseal and they confirmed that rescue paint was no longer produced and ultimate was a water based product and was the replacement for rescue paint. I explained I had ordered rescue paint to status car care but the did not want to know. DO NOT USE STATUS CAR CARE FOR ANY PURCHASE,

When it rains this paint is treacherous under foot on the decking. No grip whatever.It’s on a patio with a ramp. Even on the flat patio to remain upright when the deck is wet needs the agility of an ice skater.To correct this I am having to add grit to the paint I have left and hopefully that will allow my family to leave safely and the Postie might agree to deliver post again !!

Amazing product. My decking looks fabulous it tools me 2 days to complete this decking I will use it again on my other decking too. I was going to take my decking up but I’m so happy with this finish so I’m going to see how it stands up to winter. But I would highly recommend this product for sure. Just make sure you clean your decking properly and it’s very dry before applying. Fabulous finish.

Great product - we use it annually on our very well used deck to freshen it up & protect it - looks great & our deck has been in place for 15 years with this stuff! I very rarely leave reviews but this seller deserves 5 stars, selling for a lower price than regular DIY stores, EXCELLENT packaging, quick delivery, will definitely buy from this seller again, highly recommend.
