Hi,
I have just bought a garden shed and it is pressure treated. I have applied nothing to it yet and am wondering if anyone used Cuprinol garden shades (its kinda like a woodstain but with colours such as green, blue etc).

However, I usually use Ronseal woodstain ( which has a stain and a varnish in the one). I'd image this would be a better protection than the Cuprinol shades.

Does anyone know if i can apply the cuprinol directly on the shed without useing any primer? Doesn't really give any details on the tin. The reason why i'm asking is once i apply the cuprinol shades of green, there is no going back to the Ronseal woodstain and varnish?

Any help appreciated?
Thanks

Cuprinol Shades is ideal for applying a colour directly to Garden Sheds, would recommend two coats especially for the lighter tones.
