Used a battery paint pressure sprayer for the fences went on neat didn't have to thin it down..proper strong smell with it..I'm fully converted from the water based ronseal stuff now.. The Ronseal stuff is not a patch on proper creosote. I was surprised when I worked at Ronseal for a short while on the production line and it was the same stuff out of the big vats that went into the Wilko containers and the Ronseal containers though the price in the shops was different for the same stuff. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
