Please let us know how it all goes

The everbuild lumberjack wood preserver has been sprayed on - went through the whole 25L for the fence. In hindsight, should have just brushed it in rather than sprayed!! Now waiting for the sun“Don't raise your voice, improve your argument." - Desmond Tutu

I personally think spraying is more effective - it gets into all the nooks and crannies that rain will. Also, with such a watery product, you'd have found brushing it a complete 'mare - you could barely load up the brush each time - you'd still be out there, man...Sounds as tho' you've done a thorough job1

There you go.
Struggled to spray with the normal garden sprayer, luckily had a Wagner sprayer, which worked. Maybe I'll use a brush for the second coat.
Looks good 🙂“Don't raise your voice, improve your argument." - Desmond Tutu

Wow - it sure does.Yes, the oil will be thicker than the preservative, but pleased the Wagner worked - that's an airless electric jobbie, yes? I bet the noise was pleasant after the first hour...1

Cheers @Jeepers_Creepers expert guidance. Still have a load of oil left.
Unfortunately the Wagner was the cheapest bog standard one, it was hell of a mist, I made sure to do it in small batches
Maybe i'll finish this using a brush but have to say it looks good.“Don't raise your voice, improve your argument." - Desmond Tutu
