I have about 10 litres of brush on fence paint . How or what do i use to thin it
enough to be able to spray it on via the 5litre pump action spray bottle :-\
I tried thinners but the bottle just keeps getting clogged up :(
-
Is it water based?, although if you've mixed thinners with it already might be a bit late.

Yeah its water based but i only did a trial sample with the thinners not the whole 10litrs .

Add more water then :y

:( Sadly I've found the water based stuff to be a waste of time , it just doesn't last very long ,

Yes if you're watering down water based fence stain it'll wash off in the next shower! ::)
The only way I've had success with the stuff is to layer it on so thick you might as well use a trowel! ;D
O for creosote! :'(
-
Well i'll water it down and spray it all on . Either that or chuck it away ::) Brushing it on doesn't last long anyway . Tried all sorts of paints and none of them last , they all just wash off , even engine oil ::)

You can still buy creosote, make it go further with waste oil

Considering the forum habit of changing the oil every other time they start the engine, there must be a good supply of it! Dad paints the line and fence posts with some of the waste oil I end up with.

When I was a boy in tut war, working on the land, any oil that came out of a tractor or such like was saved up till winter, then barns were painted with it, or used to burn out ditches.

There must be a myriad of EU regulations forbidding that sort of thing these days! ;D

Do miss seeing a field of stubble albaze, or a tractor dragging a flaming harrow set ;)

I saw a stubble fire a month or two ago whilst flying my glider. Tried to get into the thermal above it but the smoke was too thick. ;D
Next to it was another field that had clearly burnt recently, so I'd be surprised if it was an "accident". :-\

Cant be the Genuine Creosote though , the stuff that use to burn your skin or make you high as a kite if sniffed too closely :D
