In my never ending saga of renovating my house I dug out a bank of soil next to my garage to open up an access. I built a retaining wall of hollow section concrete blocks filled with cement for strength and thus all was secure.Apart from the fact that it looked bloody awful like some Soviet era gulag jobbie. I always knew I'd have to tart it up and thought of various methods of doing so from cobbles to brick to steel. In the end I clad it with Siberian Larch which, is about half the price of cedar but is also very long lasting and ideal for cladding. Still a bit pricey but not wallet busting.So, then to stain or not to stain. Leaving the wood bare would allow it to weather to a dull silver grey which, might work but in the end I wanted to have a darker look. And having stumped up quite a bit for wood and put the time into doing the job I wanted the absolute best I could buy as a DIY'er.And here it is. I can hand on heart state that I don't think there is a better all weather stain available to the punter in the street. You pay for it for sure, but the stuff goes a long way and when you price it against the materials you have used and don't want to rot then it's small beans really.It goes on easily using whichever method you want to use. I'm a marine Chief Engineer and believe it or not ships are maintained using what we call 'fanny-rollers.' These are the small foam rollers used for painting behind radiators etc. Well they are also excellent for rolling on paint, stain and varnish and perfect for using with this stuff if you want a smooth even application. It will also spray well using a HVLP type unit if thinned a tad.The finish when first applied is thick, viscous and almost waxy. Now, I have used other branded stuff that felt similar but wouldn't overcoat because of the wax in it. This stuff overcoats easily and I put on two layers in the same day. One in the morning and one in the evening.Here's a bit of information I've garnered from years of firstly running ships and latterly building them. If you are doing more than one coat don't let the first coat fully cure. The best way to get a proper solid coating is to allow the first coat to dry to the touch or perhaps just tacky and then apply the next cover. This will ensure that the chemical bond between layers is solid and stops peeling.If you do allow the stuff to fully cure then you will probably need to abrade the surface to make a good key for the next paint or stain layer.Anyway, despite the cost, in my opinion this is was well worth the money. I have no doubt it will last a reasonable length of time and protect the wood cladding with a very good looking colour.

I have use this paint for years for my bungalow windows and doors, it has given them a new lease of life as I haven't done them for a couple of years. It covers well and looking like new. I purchased a 1ltr tin and it covered my 8 windows, and a door ,including two bay windows. I still got some leftover in the tin. I cleaned the brushes in white spirit and the paint brushes comes clean .

Painting interior/outer wood

This is a top quality paint stain that brings doors to life and lasts at least three years in my experience. Easy to apply. Only downside is the extended drying time making two coats in a day problematic.

I've used dozens of types of wood stain for exterior use over the past 40yrs.This one by Sadolin has been one of the easiest to apply, the first coat soaked through the previously prepared window frames, the second finished the job perfectly.Compared to the previous wood stain I used its a vast improvement, 2 coats instead of 3 then a yacht varnish to complete the job - half the work.

Excellent product, have used it for years on my garden furniture which is 30 years old and still looks like new. I sand and paint about every 2 to 3 years with saddling.

NOT THE CHEAPEST PAINT BUT IT IS ACTUALLY WORTH IT . REALLY PROTECTS AND LASTS , I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR 10 YEARS NOW (HOW THE PRICE HAS INCREASED) . GREAT CHOICE OF COLOURS . THIS IS THE ONLY EXTERNAL WOOD PAINT THAT I USE ON MY BALCONY HANDRAILS . RECOMMENDED.
