terryd 8,694 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Is creosote illegal now ? I got new drum of it in the yard been there for god knows how long and got new shed coming that will need treating soon. Love the smell of that stuff but maybe the rest of the street wont lol Oh and what about waste engine oil got loads that too Remember some one saying to mix it with some thing and its great stuff. Probably creosote lol Edited June 16, 2022 by terryd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
