DIDO.1 22,844 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I think an ingredient in creasote was banned meaning for a while it was, but now you can get it again with the banned ingredient replaced, so its not exactly the same but you can still get it. I await being corrected on that tho as I may of just dreamed that up!!! I like ronseal. anything will do for the outside just be more careful if your dogs can get to and chew treated areas.

No i think you are correct. The new stuff that you can get is pure rubbish compared to the old. Someone told me you might still be able to get the old stuff but need a license for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 160 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Creosote (the proper stuff) has been banned for sale or use by non-professional users. The replacement 'Creocote' is safer to use and available for anyone to buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
