Exterior woodcare range...

There's a Resene Woodsman solution for all your outdoor timber projects. The Resene Woodsman range comes in three different formulas: Resene Waterborne Woodsman, Resene Woodsman Decking Oil Stain and Resene Woodsman Wood Oil Stain.

Resene Waterborne Woodsman

Resene Waterborne Woodsman (see Data Sheet D57a) is a fresh approach to wood stains matching the needs of timber to the desire to achieve the most natural appearance possible. Maximum mould resistance has been achieved through the inclusion of powerful fungicides. With an adaptable formulation, Resene Waterborne Woodsman is suitable for use on a wide range of exterior timber substrates including weatherboards, dressed and rough sawn timber, fences, beams, plywood and profiled sheets. All exterior wood stain colours shown on the chart below are available in Environmental Choice approved Resene Waterborne Woodsman. Colours marked with 'cc' are also available in a Resene CoolColour version.

did you know?  All the Resene Woodsman exterior stain colours can be created as Resene Colorwood interior stain colours. Ask your local Resene ColorShop to tint your desired colour for you.

Resene Woodsman Decking Oil Stain

Tired weathered timber decks can be quickly rejuvenated with Resene Woodsman Decking Stain (see Data Sheet D57D), a waterborne modified oil based stain developed especially for new and weathered decking. Decorators will enjoy the quick and easy water clean up and the absence of the solvent fumes associated with traditional solventborne stains. Colours marked with 'ds' are also available in Resene Woodsman Decking Oil Stain. Colours marked with 'cc' are also available in a Resene CoolColour version.

Resene Woodsman Wood Oil Stain

Resene Woodsman (see Data Sheet D57) is a solventborne traditional finish ideal for exterior timber surfaces such as weatherboards, decking and furniture. Surfaces coated in Resene Woodsman Wood Oil Stain require recoating every two summers.

top tip  Usually the darker the colour, the longer the maintenance interval will be (how long before it will need to be restained). The effectiveness depends on the depth of colour used, how much is applied and the amount of weathering it receives. Stain colours of the same product type (e.g. two packs of Resene Waterborne Woodsman) may be intermixed, though it can be difficult to replicate an intermixed colour so carefully note the recipe used and mix enough for the full project.

Key
cc = All colours on this chart marked with cc are also available in Resene CoolColour™ technology. Resene CoolColour will wear differently to the standard wood finish so it is best not to mix and match the normal and Resene CoolColour formulations on a project. A change in product may be required for some colours to achieve a Resene CoolColour effect. View physical samples of products and colours at your local Resene ColorShop and selected resellers.

Resene Timber and Furniture Gel

Resene Timber and Furniture Gel (see Data Sheet D505) is a non-drip, easy to apply, waterborne gelstain designed for use on a wide variety of new and weathered timber surfaces, including furniture, both inside and out. Reapply each summer.

Resene Kwila Timber Stain

Rejuvenate, enhance and protect your timber deck or outdoor furniture with Resene Kwila Timber Stain (see Data Sheet D501). Ideally suited for new or weathered kwila, it is also suitable for use over other exotic hardwoods, adding colour to the timber while still allowing the natural grain to show through. This finish will typically require maintenance after one or two summers.

Resene Forester

Resene Forester is a semi-transparent film-forming timber stain effect finish based on a tough 100% acrylic resin to ensure maximum durability in all exposed conditions. It imparts a natural low sheen look that is fully washable. It is designed for use over a specific basecoat colour on properly prepared substrates and particularly those with a wood grain effect. It is not suitable for direct application over timber and other bare substrates.

Typical uses

• Pre-primed Shadowclad® Ultra
• Wood grain effect fibre cement
• Repaints
• Primed timber
• Primed weatherboard

Resene Furniture and Decking Oil

Like shining your shoes or polishing your interior woodwork, oiling your deck and furniture regularly will keep it looking its natural best while providing protection against the ravages of water, fungi and U.V. light. Resene Furniture and Decking Oil (see Data Sheet D503) is quick and easy to apply and will assist with water repellency and help maintain timber in good condition. Recommended for annual application to decks and furniture.
