Initially to prevent the stain from Kwila decking from leaching out over a long period before you can oil it, just get a bucket of water and add about 1 kg of Napisan. Available at all supermarkets. Use a stiff brush, pour the dissolved Napisan and water mix over the decking and scrub well in. Leave overnight. Next day hose off any excess liquid, and repeat the process. Allow your deck to dry for several days before you apply decking oil. Incidentally if your deck is close to a house wall, and it rains after your deck has been laid, you may get stain from the wood splashed up onto the wall, just mix a small bowl of Napisan and water, scrub on and the stain will quickly disappear, it will not affect your paintwork. If you require a really nice maintenance free deck, use palm oil as your deck oil, mixed with10% turpentine to prevent it going semi solid at room temperature, apply generously for 3 consecutive days, you will have a beautiful deck for at least 3 years with no further oiling, under normal conditions. I hope this is of assistance to you. Enjoy your outdoor living! Bob R.

How do you stop Kwila decking from staining?
New kwila decking will stain when it gets wet.Over time it silvers off and staining ceases.If,however, the stains are around the fixings then could be caused when galvanised nail is punched.Some builders never punch these nails and leave them flush with surface.When the galv.nail is punched,the head of the nail loses the galv(zinc)coating and the ensuing rust reacts with the tannins/oils of the timber,resulting in staining.Eucalypt timber is especially renowned for this.
