Bartoline Creocote Creosote Substitute Light Brown Timber Wood Fence Treatment 4Ltr (Pack of 4)

Product Information

A year or two ago we had new fencing erected around our property which I stained with a creosote substitute. This was done to save on costs with no particular thought given to down the line. Now I'm down the line and have kids and pets wanting to play in the garden and hang off the fencing and doing so can often leave the oily residue you associate with the product, especially in the warmer weather when they all want to run around outside. Creosote isnt banned, but we amatuers are no longer allowed to use it. However if you know of a profesional, they may have some and can use it.

Ensure wood to be treated is dry, free from dirt and repellent coatings such as paint or varnish (remove and sand down as required).Different timber will look uneven– Modern water-based fence paints often smother the timber in one overwhelming, uniform (and often bland) colour. Creocote is different because timber posts may dye a different colour than the fence panels or gates. The finished look will depend on the original colour of the timber and its ability to absorb the oil. I worked on a project once where the gate post required one coat, but I had to put three onto the gate to get a close colour match. As there is widespread expectation that creosote will eventually be banned, wood treatment producers have started to work on alternatives. One such solution is based on copper, oil and bitumen,” says Dr. Gaia Franzolin, Nynas Global Marketing Manager. I think it may depend a bit on whether or not your fence has been painted with a particular product before. If it's just the "normal" type of wood-preserver (rather than a type of paint) then creosote - or today's substitute - will work fine. If it's solid panels e.g. no visible gaps, you could probably spray the larger part of it, but creosote type stuff can and does kill greenery, so where the spray falls (other than on the wood) be prepared for any plants or grass it touches to die off. Having said that, I still wouldn't use anything else for a fence!

Coverage 1 litre to 6-8 sq metres per coat. Apply 2 coats for best results to bare or stained wood, not painted. Autumn Statement: State pension confirmed to rise by 8.5% from April 2024 – while some benefits will go up by 6.7% It takes ages to dry– In very dry and warm conditions, I found it can dry enough for a recoat in 48 hours, but I’ve also seen it take several days, so if you plan on using several coats, it could take a while to get the desired finish. The fence will also stay greasy for quite a long time too.

The creosote was running down his arms and his face was covered! Poor bugger must have suffered with third degree burns and I never seen him again!Produced through the distillation of tar from wood or coal, creosote is used to protect wood against termites, fungi, mites and other pests.

The bitumen acts as a binder, has a water-repellent function and gives the dark pigmentation that is desirable in industrial wood treatment.
