[Sir Tigger KC]

I put up a new fence at a rental property a couple of years ago and painted it with used Genuine GM 10W40.  I was there a few weeks ago and noticed that the water was still beading on the wood, so it'll last for years. 

......and presumably it is more environmentally friendly than tipping it down the drain  of your neighbour.

Presumably.... if you go in for that sort of behaviour in Lincolnsausageshire.

Possibly in Spalding, but not likely in Normanby

No...I use it to paint my fence.

I doubt the greenie eco warrior types would see painting your fence with old engine oil as an environmentally friendly act.

I'm too old to care about the opinions of people I don't give a shit about.

And there was us thinking you were going all woke on us!

Used to go past a place on the way to Boston Lincs that supplied telegraph poles ,could smell the cresote from yards away , always liked it haven't been there for ages the yard is probably a housing estate now.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Why did they ban creosote anyway? 

I seem to remember it was on environmental or health grounds?  Is it carcinogenic?

It was banned around the same time as hundreds of tanning salons opened up! 

[YZ250]

I've only used a fence sprayer once as an alternative to painting with a brush. We ended up with a lovely Golden Chestnut fence .......... and flower border .... and grass.    The overspray has to go somewhere.   
Oh, and to make matters worse, the fence coat kept clogging the nozzle on the sprayer, although I guess they've improved a lot since I tried. 

[STEMO]

Trouble now is they make the ronseal, etc., thin enough to be used in a sprayer, meaning it's like water and is difficult to load your brush with enough to cover any more than 6 square inches.

"banned " for sale to Joe public
BUT freely available to Industrial ,Professional and Farm use 
used engine oil is meant to be carcinogenic
never heard an engine that died of cancer though

That's because the death certificate came back with Covid as the cause of death!     

[Sir Tigger KC]

I've got about 25 panels to paint.

The neighbours have done their side with a horrible diarrhea coloured Cuprinol paint which is about three times as expensive as the Ronseal I use on the other fences and has washed off quicker as well!

I might use the dark oak Ronseal and let plenty drip through to their side as they caused me a lot of aggro a few years ago over this fence!

Baby blue looks good in runs over Russet
