Found this site when I did a search for Sadolin vs Sikkens, which got me Sadolin Ultra vs Sadolin Classic vs Sikkens Filter 7 Plus
Wow - full marks/many thanks/kudos to RogerM for such a scientific test. If only I'd known 5-10 years ago that I'd need a similar question answering I'd have started a test like it myself.
The info is interesting (and surprising that Sadolin Classic doesn't fare well - makes me wonder about their other products?), but it's all hardwoods and treated softwood, and I'm looking for something to apply to a wooden building made of untreated softwood (northern Scandinavian pine).
The maker recommends the following
1) A single coat of clear wood preservative (Cuprinol or Blackfriars, or Sadolin) internally and externally.
Followed by
2) External - they say that they've found Sadolin, Jotun/Butinox & Sikkens Novatech/Novatop to be good, but only go into detail with Sadolin, suggesting one of
- 1 coat of Classic then 1 coat of Extra
- 2 coats of Onecoat
- 2 coats of Superdec
- 2 or 3 coats of Classic
About 70 sq m external surface to cover.
Colour options, translucent/opaque and gloss/semi choices apart, does anyone have any views on one option vs another, Sadolin vs Jotun vs Sikkens?
