Painting a deck with fence paint

Question

I have painted my decking with fence paint which I know is wrong can I put decking oil on top of it to preserve it?

Patrick · Answer

You can put a lacquer over it to protect it normally not great to use decking paint on it or even put a clear varnish on it. Does not have to be a dear brand any varnish will do you and give it a shine finish to

Hi 

There are 2 types of fence paint, Water based and Oil based. If the fence paint was oil based, ie Creosote I would say that you don't need to worry. If it was water based, you will need to remove all the paint before re-coating with the oil protection to preserve.

This may work for a limited amount of time but not really advisable .however depending on how much usage is expected and wear and trar it could be a short term solution

No, the paint will protect it to some degree, and you have probably just created a health and safety issue depending on the type of paint you have used.

Yes, you can put a stain on this and it’ll act as a binder as it’s offers a coating protection to the fences painted wood. However, next time try using timber deck paint it’ll be a better finish.

Personally I wouldn't. I would go to paint supplier and see what  product they recommend.

Using a clear wood preserver on decking will retain the natural look of the wood whereas a coloured preservative will stain the wood, effectively acting as a decking stain

You can buy decking oil in colour you want that will already have chemicals to preserve it
