CUPRINOL ULTIMATE GARDEN WOOD PRESERVER GOLDEN OAK 4 LITRES
25 Jun, 2020
Good product let down by colour match.
Having used this product for a number of years,I know it performs very well.
You do however have to be careful when applying multiple coats on sawn panels etc.,not to let it dry too long before applying the next coat,or else the products "beads up" and will not soak in.Be warned.
My biggest problem with it is the colour matching between product in the tin and the Cuprinol colour chart. My neighbour and I agreed on the colour "Golden Oak" to paint a shared panelled fence on both sides..I purchase a large tin of the product and on opening was surprised at how "orange" coloured the product was. I decided to do a test on a panel and used 2 coats .After drying completely over a few days,we both decided it did not replicate a Golden Oak colour and was far too orange.
After contacting customer services with batch number and pics,I was told that as far as they were concerned the colour was correct.
So,we now have one large tin of unusable paint and 2 rather disgruntled customers who will be very reluctant in future to recommend this product ,as regards to the accuracy of finished colour.
