How To Use Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Paint The weather will need to be dry throughout the process, so choose a day where no rain is expected and the temperature will remain between 10 and 25°C. To prepare, firstly scrub the deck with a stiff brush to remove any loose debris and dirt. Use a jet wash if possible or hose down thoroughly to remove all dirt - failure to do this will most likely reduce the adhesion of the paint. To achieve the best result use a Decking Cleaner and Reviver. Allow the deck to dry thoroughly. Mix the paint thoroughly using a wide bladed implement and get right to the bottom of the tin. Apply generously by brush, allowing 4 hours between coats. Start in the furthest corner and brush along the length of the boards, working on 3 or 4 boards at a time to avoid overlap marks. After the second coat allow 48 hours before subjecting the deck to use.
