Mixing two shades of culprinol

Pantobabe

Hi there,

My quest for just the right decking colour goes on.. I’m used the culprinol and wanted the decking just a shade lighter than the fence which is silver copse. I’ve used silver birch which is too light and urban slate is too dark. My question is therefore can I mix the two colours together or would they not mix properly?

Sorry if this sounds a silly question - they’re £25 a pot so an expensive mistake to make!

If they're the same stuff, they're mixable.
Caveat - check they are, cuprinol do lots of different things, so as long as they are the same paint type, it'll be fine.

I've done it, but mix enough first time if possible - it's difficult to recreate exactly the same shade twice!

Yes, (obvious joke coming up) you could easily end up with 50 shades.....oh, it's not worth it...!

Be warned it doesn't wear well at all, we did a small decking trying to tidy it up as a stop gap after 6months we ended up replacing it earlier than planned as the decking paint stain wore worse than what we covered up.
