Thank you, preserving new shed tomorrow and you have saved me a lot of time, effort and drips lol

I would expect drips using a sponge, so I recommend sheeting up on the floor. The best of luck with it 👍

That’s awesome m8, I will definitely give this a go, I’ve got two new sheds to do. Good video

Put a piece of plastic sheet on the ground first and you could mop up any spills with your sponge, so wastage at all.

Good tip - I will be using it after loading it up less. A roller splashes and drops like crazy so I,d cancel that out. A sprayer for the large middle areas would have no wastage if you know how to soray

By the time I set my sprayer up on this job, I'd have it done with the sponge, or roller tbh....but yes , even with the sponge, the quicker you want to do it.and to be honest id rather load up the sponge and waste more gear on a job like this outside...lol.....the more wastage of material...same as spraying

Definitely the best way to do it , painters mitts are ok as well. Sponges are cheaper though 👍

This is all new to me just got a large summerhouse and they told me to treat it within 4 weeks , now been 6 weeks and not done lol 😂 , using a oil based paint , they recommended barretine clear wood protective treatmeat , Would this idea work for me and what about the inside and flooring should that be done and will that be ok , how long before applying another coat Thanks

Yes that brand is fine, that is what I used, but it needs a preservative first if it hasn't already had one. I do mine every couple of year's ideally

If the floor is timber then it will need a different product, something much more hard wearing for foot traffic

How effective is ‘sponging’ for an oil based covering such as Creocote? Thank you
@elaineperrin38022 жыл бұрын
Hi Munir, We tried sponging one of our fence panels (laid flat) using Creosote. Coverage was quite good but a little messy. We did the other panels in situ with a brush and after drying, the sponged panel was slightly lighter in colour than the others. So it is effective as long as you do all fence panels/shed with the sponge. Hope this helps.

Hi Joe, don't laugh but could you use the sponge method to creosote fence panels if they were removed (we have concrete posts) and laid flat?
@JoeProDecor2 жыл бұрын
Yes no reason why not tbh

And only if your panels are smooth timber

Preserver always first before finish colour? For example we have new tanalised railway sleepers and want to stain and protect inside and outside. Thank you

What colour did you use?

Hi, it was a clear oil based lacquer, but be sure to use a recommended oil based preserver first, usually the same brand as part of their system. This particular system was baritone

WHY USE THE TWO DIFFERENT PRODUCTS?
@sunkat763 жыл бұрын
because the wood preservative penetrates the wood to stop woodworm, wet rot, dry rot and mold. the second product (in this case stain) provides protection against UV damage, repels water and, provides a finishing colour of your choice.
