ashthekid Posted July 8, 2021 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 Posted July 8, 2021 Or would a wax be better seeing as it's internal?
jfb Posted July 8, 2021 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.
