- An article was posted about using creasote(sp?) treated lumber.
- I suggest using a mixture of old engine oil and diesel fuel. Mix
- to a oil-rich mixture, brush on with an old paint brush, let dry
- and burry.
- Cautions: wear old clothing, protective eye-wear, and dont let
- kids get near it.
- This worked for my fathers barn and the wood didn't rot or get
- buggy, and gives an impressive dark color to the wood.
- I don't know if this is illegal or not, but who's going to tell.?
