I note that the sprayable stuff costs about double that of the normal brushable stuff.
To be honest, it just looks like a runnier, watered-down version.
Anyone tried watering down the normal stuff and sticking that in your pressure sprayer?

No, but I always used to spray the spirit based stuff with a garden sprayer.

Spirit based stuff? Whats that?
I thought it was all water soluble stuff.
Give it a try. Water some down and see how it works, or not.
What's the worst that can happen? The sprayer gets blocked and you have to clean it out. Hardly a disaster, is it?
Yup. I used some bog standard preservative in a cheapo, generic sprayer (£2 from B&Q). It worked just as well as the "designer" packaged stuff.
Spirit based stuff? Whats that?
Cuprinol that you have to thin/clean up with white spirits.

Thought I might try creosote next: somehow, *nothing* seems so effective as creosote (it's probably an illusion that was hardwired into my infant brain).

[1] Well: creosote substitute[2] [2] ...which seems to me to be exactly the same as the original, only a lot more expensive.
Better still..... where can I get some creosote?
