Lanotec Timber Seal PLUS protects rough sawn timber on boardwalks, jetties and fence posts. Sold in 3 L packs, 20 L drums with or without UV additive, 200 L drums and 1,000 L IBCs.

What it does

PLUS is the heavier of Lanotec's two lanolin timber treatments, for wood exposed to sun, rain and salt air. An evaporating carrier takes lanolin, UV stabilisers and an anti mould treatment into the grain. It helps stop rough timber drying, splitting and rotting, resists wash off, dries clear and protects the bolts and screws in it.

Where to use it

Lanotec names boardwalks, bridges, jetties, wharf structures, fence posts and railings. On a new build, spray bearers, joists, end grains, checkouts and drill holes before assembly. For dressed decks and furniture, use Lanotec Timber Seal. Both sit in our rust and corrosion protection range.

How to use

1. Let new or green timber settle for 3 months or more; until then, treat joints and fastenings.
2. Start clean and dry. Treat raw timber with a broad spectrum anti mould product first.
3. Shake the drum well, for longer when cold.
4. Allow approximately 6 to 8 m² per litre. Overdoing it leaves a tacky surface.
5. Apply one even coat with a garden sprayer, roller or lambswool pad. Keep foot traffic off for 6 hours.
6. Recoat when water stops beading. Lanotec suggests two coats in the first year, then about yearly.

Safe on / avoid

It can go over timber once oiled with decking oil, if the boards now look dry. Sand and clean grey, weathered boards first. Oil based tints can be added at 2.5 per cent; trial an off cut. Lanotec pairs it with Lanotec Type A Grease on base plates and threaded rod. Wear gloves: it can sensitise skin. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
