How to revive whitened Specrite Merbau garden edging?

This edging has been in the garden for little over a year, but has become stained and whitened? Is there any chemical that can help me recover it ?

Re: How to revive whitened Specrite Merbau garden edging?

Hello @JaideepKarnik 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your garden edging.

 

If you are thinking about reviving the colour of your garden edging, I suggest washing the surface with Intergrain 1L UltraPrep Timber Cleaner. It is a high strength timber treatment that prepares timber prior to coating. This high performance, bio-degradable formula is specially designed to be garden safe and will not damage surrounding surfaces such as exterior paint, metal or plastic. 

 

Once the surface of the garden edging has been prepared, I suggest staining it with Intergrain 1L Merbau UltraDeck Timber Decking Stain to bring back the colour to your garden edging. My best advice is to cover your concrete area with drop sheets and masking tape to prevent staining your concrete path. 

 

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How To Stain A Deck (some of the techniques used are applicable to your project)

 

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and a mask when using the cleaner. Please make sure to follow all the safety guidelines printed at the back of the packaging.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
