    Default Feast Watson Timber Decking Oil - when to recoat

    I am planning to make a deck and cubby house using Alaskan Yellow Cedar, and finish it with Feast Watson Timber Decking Oil. I have read the advice to oil the decking boards both sides before assembling the deck. The instructions on the oil say you can recoat after one hour. What I would like to know is whether you need to recoat soon after one hour is passed, or whether you can come back the next day or in a couple of days to apply another coat.

    I understand that some oils, when they are fully dry, create a seal that prevents further oil from penetrating into the wood. Is that the case with the Timber Decking Oil.

    Any advice anyone can provide would be appreciated.

    Default Penetration..

    It would depend on the wood and the depth of the grains, as each coat of the drying oil dries as a layer, so the penetration is only as deep as the grains and or the surface of the wood, after that each coat that you apply will be another layer until the drying oil has cured.
