Exterior Finishing and Protection FAQs

Some of our most frequently asked questions about WOCA Exterior Finishing and outdoor protection products for decks and outdoor surfaces.

What is the longevity of your Exterior Oil?

With proper care, a WOCA-treated deck stays protected year-round. Factors like sunlight, rain, and number of coats affect longevity, but regular inspections and annual touch-ups will keep your wood surfaces looking fresh and restored.

Can I mix or layer Exterior Oil?

Yes, you can mix the WOCA Exterior Oil colors to make your own customized color. You can also add layers of the same or different colors.

Do I have to apply a topcoat over Exterior Oil?

No, you do not need to add a topcoat over WOCA Exterior Oil. Exterior Oil is a stand-alone finishing oil that is specifically designed for use on outdoor wood.

Can I use a pump-up sprayer to apply Exterior Oil?

Yes, you can use a pump-up sprayer to apply WOCA Exterior Oil. Just make sure you wipe off any excess within 5 minutes.

Should I apply 1 or 2 coats of Exterior Oil?

For domestic wood species, 2 coats of WOCA Exterior Oil will give you a richer color and better overall protection and durability.

Exotic wood species are naturally oily to begin with, therefore 1 coat of WOCA Exterior Oil is usually sufficient.

Is WOCA Exterior Wood Oil water and weatherproof?

Yes—when applied and maintained properly, WOCA Exterior Oil makes exterior wood water-resistant and shields it from direct sunlight, rain, and too much moisture, extending the life and color of your deck or outdoor wood structures.

How often do I have to do maintenance on my Exterior Oil deck?

Most decks need a light maintenance coat once a year, but it depends on exposure to direct sunlight, shade, or heavy use. Darker oil colors provide stronger UV protection, so they may last longer between treatments.

Can I use WOCA Exterior Oil indoors?

WOCA Exterior Oil is formulated for exterior wood surfaces such as decks, fences, and outdoor furniture. For hardwood floors or interior wood furniture, explore our WOCA Interior Products designed for indoor use.

The oil doesn't seem like it's dry yet. It's showing footprints.

If your wood surface does not seem like it is dry, or if it is showing footprints, then there is too much oil on the wood surface. Wipe or polish off with a white 3m polishing pad.
