Cuprinol Ducksback 5 Year Waterproof for Sheds and Fences, 5 L - Harvest Brown

I am very impressed with this I bought a large shead a couple of years ago and when it rained for a couple of days the water would soak through the walls. I tried all the oil based sealers but they didn't work for very long then this year I thought I would give this a chance and wow I am gobsmacked it has been raining very heavy for three days and night and hand on Hart the walls are bone dry inside so forget all the others go for this every time without fail

I normally go for cedar wood red as I love the color, but thought id switch it up and go for this autumn brown when this dries its kinda a reddish brown rather than a dark brown which I love. Will need 2 coats!I tried to paint it on via brush but it took way too long by hand so bought a machine, I had to thin this paint down using water and it worked a treat as you can see via the photos.With the machine I painted 6 panels single coat in under a hour which was awesome, I have purchased multiple tubs since they come well packages but as with any paint it has to be kept upright, the lids are taped down and sealed in plastic bags so if it does leak a little it will not ruined the cardboardI have had about 5 tubs since and only the first one had a tiny little bit leak in the box, wouldn't have made any difference but worth mentioning

It's pretty much as you may expect ~ a dye in a sort of gel that you can slop about but evaporates to leave a great finish. Opacity is good, a single coat left my fence looking great, however I did find their coverage estimate to be wildly out. The fist coat used double their estimate. I used 5L for 2.5 six foot sawn panels on one side, including posts. Since I had to do both sides then that was 20L for five panels . The second coat used closer to their estimate ~ I used just short of 15L for five panels, both sides. The sun was shining strongly on the day I painted with temps at around 25 degrees so I managed two coats in one day and avoided any problems with it becoming too water repelling. With Amazons price for this stuff it's really great stuff and even with their overestimate of coverage it doesn't work out disastrously expensive.The Cedar colour looks extremely nice in full sun but looks somewhat orange in cloudy weather. Very strong a bright too, so I suppose more suitable for older panels than new ones.

Tin of paint dispatched by Amazon, who has ignored all fragile stickers on the original product box, I therefore ended up with a box of paint which went everywhere - amazon gave me a free replacement, which was good, however they then delivered again in exactly the same condition, with paint slopping about in a box. I know this to be a brilliant and long lasting product as I have purchased previously in B&Q or such like - very dissappointed with the idiots at Amazon not taking note of what they are packing

As the container instructions indicate, up to 3 coats mat be needed. When I have done this results have been excellent. I doubt whether I shall order again through Amazon, however, as the lid of the last container I received was off the can and much of the contents were spilled into the plastic bag sealing the can. The lids are heavily taped to the cans and the taping requires heavy cutting to free the lids. I obviously received an opened container returned by another customer. I expected better from Amazon.

I buy this for my wooden, garden furniture. One tin lasts ages and sits in my shed for years. It comes out perfect to use for a touch up job every year. I love outdoor painting (except fences) so am happy to re-apply annually. It does not, however, withstand the scratches from a puppy Springer Spaniel. Puppy's problem - not the paint. Great product, service and delivery.

Only one coat of Autumn Brown immediately gave a tired-looking old fence panel a new lease of life. Two other panels and a wooden garage door also got the Cuprinol treatment which gave splendid results too. Water resistance appears good but unable to rate longevity as work was carried out only a couple of months ago. But so far I would say it does exactly what it says on the tin.

Cover, Excellent. 2 coats in some places but this shed had seen better days for sure. It was a mess, half stained and moss on bottom. I took moss off and anything else with a wire brush now looks like new. This product was great with 4inch shed roller and 4 inch paint brush, no drips hardly at all. Easy job Dont use a block brush that was rubbish to use, made job harder.P.s. those light patches are the sun.
