ashthekid Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Does anyone recommend a good spray can protection for some old oak beams that exists in my barn conversion project. They are approx 150yrs old and are located alongside new window lintels. Because they have been exposed to the elements for a bit of time they are showing signs of a bit of mould which I'm sure will just brush off with a wire brush but I wanted to see if there any suggestions to just treat the oak to protect it.

ashthekid Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Or would a wax be better seeing as it's internal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfb Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I wouldn't have thought they need anything. Once it is established as a dwelling it is unlikely to go mouldy like it has. See what you can do to brush the mould off now and then see how it behaves once in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
