Hi all,

I have some cedar outside which I am looking to protect but keep the natural colour. I have previously treated it with Linseed oil but after 6 months it is looking grey. So plan is to sand it back and go again.

Looking online, some people are saying that OSMO uv-protection oil is much better although others say not. Does anyone have any experience of it and whether it is better than Danish oil or Linseed oil? I guess my key criteria is how long it will last before needing to be redone.

Many thanks

Lee.

I thought the point of Cedar was that other than going silver/grey, it
survives well outdoors without constant sanding/finishing?

True.
After some exposure, silver/grey _is_ its natural colour. Any treatment
is just a way of applying unnatural colour (just don't paint it!).
