Start in the furthest corner, brushing along the length of the boards. Work on 3-4 boards at a time so you don't get any overlap marks.
Apply 2 coats, leave 20 minutes between each coat.
After 24 hours you'll be able to get your furniture out and use the deck.

Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the tin
