Aibu to be stropping...

[TryingToForgeAnewLife]

Over the fact that l have spent the last 3 days painting fence panels with Ronseal only to now read that they wash off in the rain

Are you sure?

Yep! Sob...

Pretty sure I've seen reviews like that for most brands of fence paint. Usually written by people who didn't follow the instructions properly.

Throw your strop if it does actually wash off in the rain.

Oh I'm sorry OP you made me laugh.

All that effort then it gets rained off...!

Thanks for the heads up. I had intended going out and buying some tomorrow!

It had better not rain ever again

Was so pleased of how nice it looked too.

What does it say on the tin?

Don't use ronseal, utter garbage. Cuprinol or Johnstone are better commonly available ones.

Cuprinol on ds2’s playhouse painted 4 years ago still as vibrant and new as the day I did it.
Ronseal in the fence and decking done last year has almost completely washed away. Followed the instructions to the letter on both brands one has proved its worth the other has proved its crap.

I emailed the man who erected the fences and asked what he recommends. He said culprinol.

Sigh....
