Fisheruk Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 I think it is pretty much the same stuff. I use Creacote on fences and gates. It’s a really good preservative, and very cheap. If you want to improve it you can mix in some black bitumen paint, not too much or it won’t sink into the wood so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
