Temp Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 It looks like Ronseal may have discontinued their General Purpose wood preserver that I've been using. Anyone know if their "Total" range is similar? I've just wasted £ on their Shed and Fence Preserver and its just not what I'm looking for at all. Its like its pigment rather than a die.

Temp Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 I used light brown Creosote from bnq instead but it's not as good looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has for domestic use, but is allowed for commercial use. I found their creosote substitute to be good, in the short term (six years) at least. It has the same reassuring smell. https://www.creosotesales.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 I think bnq call it creosote "substitute". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it on raised bed timbers and it seems to work as a preservative, but I think might look poor on a shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it on our fence and it was dark brown. I'm not sure if they do a lighter shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Available via trade routes, and legal depending how it is used. Banned from being advertising. A very British fudge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
