Cuprinol Ducksback: Watch This BEFORE You Buy It

Check prices on Amazon: amzn.to/40wdlDX
I tested Cuprinol Ducksback fence paint; it worked wonders and was far better than the three other paints I looked at.
Here's what I tested:
1) How many coats are needed.
2) The colour compared to the tab on the tin.
3) How waterproof it was.
4) If the paint washed off after a month (hose and tissue test).
5) How well it can be applied via brush, roller and sprayer.
6) I also researched why some consumers report that it doesn't stick to their fence panels.
I rate this fence paint very highly, but it's not for everyone.
Watch my short video to find out why.

It can be used on smooth timber. Painted the kids mud kitchen in this 8 years ago. All smooth and mostly indoor smooth pine. It has been outside ever since and is still perfect

Can you put cuprinol duckback over cuprinol shades as i want to change a light colour to a darker one

[@ayresc4]

Does diluting the paint weaken the protection

[@fagan4119]

Did you put it in just a regular pressure sprayer? How much did you water it down by?

[@MartinoNotts]

Did you ever find an answer to this? Looking to do the same!
This video suggests 2:1 w/ water

Do another waterproof test after a couple of months. Surface wax disappears really quicky due to UV degradation. It either needs to be suspended in solvent for deep penetration into the timber, or applied via paint where the pigment protects it from UV degradation. It's ok buying these cheap treatments if you plan on an annual maintenance routine but it's definitely the case with exterior timber treatment that you only get what you pay for, and a decent treatment or paint for between £30 to £35 (5 litres) will last for several years.

True,was does degrade,but colour lasts really well,and it's easy to re-coat.

[@peterowe3799]

@keithhooper6123 Maybe I had a bad batch because it lasted less than 6 months on my fence before going all patchy on the tops and towards the bottom of each panel. I recoated with Garden Shades, and that has been going well for over 2 years now.

Thanks was just about to buy this for summerhouse, now realise not suitable as smooth wood!!

[@keithhooper6123]

Can use on smooth wood,as I have done many times,but Garden Shades may be better.

Cuprinol garden shades is.

How are you supposed to repaint it after the 5 years when it starts to fail?
