How to Remove Tannins and Oils from Your Deck

So, you’ve just built a new deck and you can’t wait to use it, enjoy it and show it off to all your friends.

But then you’re told you need to let it weather and that can take 4-6 weeks. That’s 4-6 weeks before a single coat of oil or stain can come close to your timber. What if we told you, you could skip ahead and do it today? Like right now (weather permitting of course).

Weathering

Weathering your timber removes the tannins and oils in and if you skip this process, it can leave your coating patchy and compromise its longevity – let’s not do that.
