Common situations
The surface must meet the oil maker’s drying requirements after cleaning or rain. A visually dry top surface alone may not settle the question. Leave scheduling flexible enough for the accepted product and actual conditions instead of treating the booking date as a drying guarantee.
The timber needs to accept the proposed product in the way its instructions require. Glossy residue, uneven wear or previous treatment can change absorption. Photos support planning, but an on-site suitability check may still be needed before the application method is confirmed.
Application needs to follow the product’s coverage and handling instructions. More oil does not automatically mean better protection, and excess can affect the surface. Discuss the agreed area and product quantity so the work is planned around the actual deck rather than a guessed number of cans.
