Clear waterproofing for outdoor workshop

[Zarch]

I have this 5 year old wooden workshop clad in pressure treated tongue and groove.

In previous years I have applied the clear version of Dacrylate Nordac Timber Protection: http://www.dacrylate.co.uk/Products/Wood/52Line.html

It was great and the rain just beaded off it, but it's become worn and needs a recoat before the autumn.

But Dacrylate they tell me the clear version has now been discontinued, with only coloured versions available. I don't really want to go coloured as I like the aged look the workshop now has.

So i'm after an alternative.

I've seen Ronseal Total Wood Preserver but it says on their website "does not provide waterproofing protection." Seems a bit daft for an outdoor product?

There's Thompson waterseal, but reviews on Amazon mention formula has changed and it's not as good as it used to be?

So was wondering if any has a clear waterproofing solution that I could consider?

Many thanks

Hi Zarch.

If you ever have the time on a weekend, have a look into this.

I'd much rather make my own than a brand named product, IF I had the time and patience.

I'd make a thinner version and brush it in.

Thanks for the link, but sadly time is at a premium and I really need an off the shelf product.

Sadolin clear wood preserver....probably the best outdoor products available.

Thanks John,

But isn't this just the same product as the Ronseal Total Wood Preserver, ie not a waterproofer?

from the Sadolin website......

Sadolin Wood Preserver is a wood preservative for use against wood rotting fungi and wood destroying insects. For use on interior and exterior wood out of ground contact or out of surface water contact. Exterior timber treated with Sadolin Wood Preserver must be subsequently coated with an exterior woodstain or paint.

Ah, I see what you mean......!
How about Extra Durable Clearcoat? Somewhat less of a varnish, more of a soak in product, if I recall.
