Cuprinol Omdömen 

I tried Ron, but even though a tub of ducks back is £4 more a tub, it is next level. My decking has half&half just now and ive got the pics , video that shows the Cuprinol beads up the rain, whereas the Ron is sponge'n.

Gr8 product

Forest Green. Nice colour and yes it's waxy and so needed more than 2 coats on an old fence and even then it didn't completely cover the old blue paint as it kept coming through. Would not recommend this product

Sticky Nightmare After Cuprinol UV Guard: Honest Review

After applying this product exactly as instructed (on clean, dry Scandinavian softwood decking, using a brush, in perfect weather), I experienced severe tackiness that lasted for days — and later weeks. The surface remained sticky, unusable, and released a strong chemical smell, especially in sunlight.

It took multiple attempts to resolve the issue, including washing with water, water + detergent (which did nothing), and finally cleaning every single board manually with methylated spirits followed by wiping dry. Only then did the tackiness disappear — but the odor lingered.

In the end, the only positive outcome is that some of the oil likely soaked into the wood, so a basic level of water resistance probably remains. Visually, the wood survived — thanks to its quality — but the entire process was frustrating, time-consuming, and avoidable.

This product might work if applied with near-laboratory precision in an ultra-thin layer, but even a slight excess leads to a surface disaster.
Better guidance from the manufacturer and honest user reviews would’ve saved me hours of unnecessary work.

Never again this product!!

Absolute rubbish watery paint that never lasts any amount of weathering before needing another couple of coats. People need to stop buying familiar brand named rubbish and start looking for actual decent paint. These companies are robbing you all blind and you fall for it hook, line and sinker.

Bough Cuprinol White Daisy from The Range 5 x 2.5l for a 1m x 35m long fence.
Gave our fence 3 coats over 3 days, time will tell how well it takes to the weather.
An absolute disaster to work with, any thinner and it was water. Very poor coverage and spread and had to be very careful of the runs.
I’ve used Johnstons prior to Cuprinol and clear to say I’ll be using Johnstons again, thicker paint and brilliant on wood. Cuprinol stop watering down your paint.

I bought Cuprinol ducksback for our garden fence. It was the delicate pine colour. We used 7 tins (5ltr) for a fence that is approx 60 square metres.

We painted it twice, over 2 days, a coat each day. We put much more on the fence than was recommended. It was prepared correctly, and was bone dry (over 20 degrees) for weeks before and stayed dry for few weeks after too (it was painted around a month ago).

Just been outside and the paint is coming off in the rain! It looked brilliant when done, but now is starting to come off. Not happy!

I am surprised of the negative comments mainly to do with the colour's.
I put this on my large shed and it has lasted for 5 years, it has protected the shed from all weathers it never blisters of flakes in extreme heat and rain water just falls off like it says 'Ducks back' so for me its 10/10
I have just bought another tin to recoat, its reasonable priced and good quality both of which are hard to match with other products.

Bought Cuprinol Ducksback in B&M…. great price but TOTAL waste of money.. I don't remember ever using such a bad paint...very poor coverage with first coat..not much better with second coat...just heading into town to buy proper paint. Don't waste your money on this rubbish.

Bought ducksback autumn gold for my new fence, expecting the colour from the tin. Foolishly didn’t heed the bright orange colour of the paint on opening the tin and painted two panels- orange. Thinking it would deepen to the correct shade on subsequent coats I tried a second but no. It is bright orange and hideous especially when the sun hits it. Nothing like the advertised colour. Fine I thought, I’ll buy something else to paint over it- but it turns out that to do so I’m stuck with more ducksback with limited and questionable colours as other brands won’t adhere to it. Absolutely sickened to have ruined my new fence.

Update
Thank you Sam from Technical for advice and we shall use the garden shades which we used on our BBQ hut and still perfect 10 years later

Terrible. Prepared fences. 3 coats, used 2 full tins, left it a day between coats. 1st rain all washing off from top of fences down . Looks worse than before applying. Waste of money and the effort of my 73 year old husband.

I can't say how long it will last but after spending nearly £100 on ronseal decking stain which was awful like water ronseal no help at all.We decided to try ducksback covered in two coats brilliant how long it will last have to wait and see but at a quarter of the price of ronseal what's not too like.

My update on my previous 2 reviews. I am pleased that AkzoNobel dealt with my issue although I feel it could have been avoided if they remove the lid of their Ducksback to reveal the colour when putting online. This might help customers get a better idea of the colour rather than going by the labels description.

Cuppernel Dutch back never use such cheap streaky shed fence paint four coats on the shed still looks streaky still looks awful very very poor adhesion back to using protek products for your more professional finish will definitely not ever buy this again ps also replies from cuprinol seem to be same replies ????

Paint went on very well. Silver copse colour looks amazing.

I’ve used this paint for approximately 2years and it has been superb. I noticed people on here are complaining that it has raised in parts. A simple solution to this is to use watered down PVA as a prime coating this makes a hell of a difference.

Just spent all weekend painting a new fence and an old fence, bought 2 9litre tubs of Cuprinol ducks back silver copse from Screwfix, today it’s raining and the paint is washing off surely this is not right it had over 12 hrs to dry, what a complete joke
Would like to add the customer service from AkzoNoble is second to none they went above and beyond to rectify the issue.

Painted wooden garden table and chairs. Followed instructions. It looked great initially. But within a couple of weeks it started to lift and wear off. It appeared to wash off in heavy rain. This is NOT WEATHERPROOF. Really disappointed. I spent an entire weekend painting & prepping outdoor dining set. I was telling a friend what happened. When she asked the brand, she reported that a similar thing happened to her when she painted her shed. Stay away from this!!! Expensive rubbish

I experienced a slight challenge with the coverage of the Shades 'white daisy' paint and had to contact customer service. I was thoroughly impressed with their handling of the situation – they were absolutely fantastic and resolved everything. Despite this minor hiccup, I remain a loyal customer. We've used plenty of this brand's products on our glamping cabins, both inside and out, with fantastic results. Although this set me back a day, I still wholeheartedly recommend the product.

One star awarded because there isn't a zero star option. After many hours on our hands and knees, our deck looked great. This lasted about three weeks tops, before the stain began to lift, and six months later it looks like we never touched it. We are extremely experienced users of paint related products, and this is unquestionably the WORST thing we have used in over 40 years. Total trash!

I have bought the colour natural stone sample and loved it. My partner has just bought the 5L version and painted with two coats and it’s a completely different colour! I wanted a beige and the colour we have got is silver white!

Culprinol helped me straight away with this issue and I was able to replace the pots of paints. Thank you Jess for your help with this!
