I hope its ok to post here . I did think of posting it on a gardening newsgroup but as it about sealing wood, I though the expertise would be here.
I sectioned off part of my garden to let it overgrow to help with the wild life. I thought it would be a good idea to enclose the area using old railway sleepers.
Did not give a thought to the fact that they would smell of creosote or something similar and one touch and your covered in it.
The grandchildren come round to play sometimes and I know they will climb on the sleepers.
Is there any paint or sealant that I can use so the preservative stays in the wood and not on my grandchildren.
thank you
