I acquired a gallon of "Creocote", the oil-based substutute for creosote. I wonder if it is any good, as compared to other preservatives. Does anyone have any experienc of it? It does seem relatively messy to work with, because it stays wet on the surface for a long time, but the hue it imparts to white wood is quite attractive, IMO. (I'm using the dark version).
It smells very similar to creosote.
