Hi all,

I've been reading the deck finishing threads and sticky and have a few questions.

I've just had 25sqm of blackbutt decking layed today. It will be covered, however the cover is probably going to be about 3-4 weeks until it is installed. It is also on south side of house so won't get direct sunlight.

With regards to finishing,

- I was planning on using oil. I'd like to get it as close as possible to the colour inside which is also blackbutt finished in tung oil, which has a really natural colour. What is recommended to give a similar effect outside? (Brand, Colour etc).

- Do I oil it as soon as possible? I was planning on finishing using the Utemad's sticky instructions this weekend if possible, (weather depending). I assume it doesn't need weathering,

Thanks,
Jeremy
