Shed wood treatment

[MH1 1,888]

What, if anything, do you use to treat the inside of a shed?

Bloke that delivered it said use something oil based, I've got creosote for the outside, can I use that for the inside too?

Cheers

It'd burn the eyes out of yer sockets ,and give ye a fit of coughing that make ye sound like an asthmatic camel ffs...cuprinol clear or woodstain,,oil based,there's loads of products to choose from,and not overly expensive

Any of these brands in oil based be the finest

Why would you want to treat the inside of your shed you treat the outside to stop wear /rot from the weather ?.

Why not, will fcukkng stink tho I got a couple barrels of the coal tar creosote here an when you do your fence the whole estate can smell it for days, funny cos once you do it the smell must trigger others, couple days after it seems every Cnut out doing it

I use a clear complete wood treatment from ronseal or cuprinol with a woodworm prevention in it, although Ive just noticed its doubled in price.

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

The old one is banned mate, that’s why they use coal tar now, it’s still decent but not like the old gear

I bought a 50 gallon drum of the old stuff a few years ago through a farmer.

The old stuff is carcinogenic .
