Aussie Clear Light
AUSSIE CLEAR LIGHT is an exterior decking oil and timber finish that protects the hardwoods from the weather. It is the best oil based finish to highlight the natural grain and beauty. This results in a completely natural oiled look. AUSSIE CLEAR LIGHT stabilises timber as it repels moisture, reducing checking or splitting. No film is allowed to form, so peeling or cracking is never a problem. It also inhibits unsightly mould growth with its powerful mouldicide. It has been specially formulated and tinted to use on a broad range of hardwoods. If you have mid to light toned timbers then this is the decking oil for you.
