Wattyl Weathergard ProDeck
Verified4 reviews
The worst product ever used – I am a fully qualified painter and decorator and I used this product on my decking, Merbau timber. Let the timber weathered for 8 weeks and washed it through all this time, washed and prepared the timber again with Integrain power prep and reviva as Crowies staff said. After all this procedure used Wattyl Weathergard Prodeck as a protective coating which states that will last 3x longer then any other traditional decking oil. I did 2 coats wet on wet and a 3rd coat 24 hours later. The product did not survived 3 weeks what a dissaster. It started faddin and lost the water repellantcy. Contacted wattyl and explained what happened and they started blaming the timber.3 weeks ago I applied another 2 coats and the product stopped repelling water after 10 days . Contacted Wattyl again and had they representative to come over and have a look even he could not believe what he saw. The only thing that they can do is to refund me the money of the product and I have to do the hole job again. Will never buy Wattyl products anymore .
Purchased in at Crowies for $249.

Worst product ever – Used on large deck with balastrades. Started with the sides and followed all instructions, but the product is so watery that it was impossible to stop runs or drops of stain on the main deck. This product will not cover up any of these imperfections. The main deck showed signs of fading , where the shadow of the sides showed through. Second coat did not improve the overall look. Very disappointed.

Went on fine, only suitable for undercover use! – The colour (natural) and application was fine on merbau, it was a cooler day and the deck was prepared properly. The second coat was wet on wet which made it intersting doing a large deck. However, the edge of my patio is exposed to direct sunlight (about 40mm) and was sun bleached within 2 weeks. The undercover area after 6 months still looks good and would recommend to use it for covered purposes or know it will bleach quickly.

Wattyl ProDeck coating issues – The new Wattyl ProDeck water wash up decking oil. This product has a water repellent added to it,to as you would expext, repel water. Well guess what, the product will repel itself between first & second coats if full sun lands on it before second coat is applied, similar to water repelling off silicon, meaning second coat does not penetrate and beads on the surface.
This product however can be applied wet over wet which will avoid the problem, but if you have a really hot sunny day watch out.
I am a qualified painter I prepared the deck well beyond what was required on the label.
