    Has anyone used this to speed up weathering/greying? What were the results like?

    I used it on a substantial enough sized deck and was delighted with the greying and weathering. Followed all instructions and topped up with second top layer after 12 months. I still found that two years later the deck surface treatment had failed in several areas. All upright areas like seats and rails held up very well. They mention in their literature that in Ireland and UK you will still get surface algae so I did get some of that and eventually decided to strip it all off and try another product. Very expensive.

    What wood you proposing to put it on?

    I have a pile of Sioo:X factory treated larch cladding out the back but I've been too damn lazy to fit it over the winter.

    The main draw wasn't so much the faster weathering, but the consistent weathering. It's supposed to work well when different areas are subject to different amounts of water, and so would normally go streaky or whatever.
