    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/50589"&gt;@Ric&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The dye is the natural Merbau tannins in the timber. These tannins need to be removed from the timber prior to oiling. You can either wait 6-8 weeks for this process to naturally occur or use&lt;SPAN style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(124,124,124);font-size:16px;"&gt; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/search/products?page=1&amp;amp;q=UltraPrep%20Tannin%20And%20Oil%20Remover&amp;amp;sort=BoostOrder&amp;amp;pageSize=60" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;U&gt;Intergrain UltraPrep Tannin And Oil Remover&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;SPAN style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(124,124,124);font-size:16px;"&gt;Once the tannin removal process is complete, you should then use&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/search/products?page=1&amp;amp;q=UltraPrep%20Timber%20Cleaner&amp;amp;sort=BoostOrder&amp;amp;pageSize=60" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;U&gt;Intergrain UltraPrep Timber Cleaner&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(124,124,124);font-size:16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;to finish the job. You would then do a water droplet test, and if it is absorbed, you are ready to coat the deck with an oil.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(124,124,124);font-size:16px;"&gt;Please let me know if you have any questions.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <title>How to oil new Merbau decking?</title>
      <link>https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/Outdoor/How-to-oil-new-Merbau-decking/m-p/201986#M27581</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Just laid Bunnings Merbau Decking - found dye from decking that had overnight due on it came onto my hands. Bought Bunnings, Feast Watson - Traditional Timber Oil (Merbau). Will I just paint over the dyed planks with the Timber Oil ? or will&amp;nbsp; I need to remove the dye first ? Regards, Ric.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
