merbau finishing

Hi all.

Getting mixed information about the best way to finish an outdoor weather exposed Merbau deck.

Whats the best products to use?

How long after building should it be treated/sealed?

Thanks for any help

Whats the best products to use?I would use oilbased as merbau tends to bleed on contact with water

How long after building should it be treated/sealed?Before it gets wet

Have just re-coated our new merbau decking and used Sceneys Weatherproof oil. Half the cost of others, easy to apply, looks good, does not need sanding back or cleaning for subsequent coats. Just re-did the oregon posts yesterday witht he same stuff, as well as the surrounds for all the merbau timber window frames - quick, easy and weatherproof.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the advice guys
