Hi

I am about to oil my deck, i was going to use either Feast Watson or Intergrain Oil, should i use Natural or Merbau in either products. Will the Merbau just make the timber look darker, just not sure as to which one. The guy at the hardware said that the Merbau Oil was for treated pine, is that right?????

Thanks
Scott

Hi srohara

We use Feast watson as our default deck oil.. I use walnut because its the best compromise between darkening it but not putting a fake looking tint over the top....

I wouldn't put intergrain stick with feast and use either natural or walnut... walnut is now a tinted colour made off of natural and is no longer a ready mixed colour so most dont see it on the shelf and therefore dont buy it as much now... Walnut and natural are both as dark as each other just the natural is a little bit more orange brown and the walnut is a brown -brown

below is merbau with walnut feast watson
