- Well that should confuse the algorithm.
Actually, the idea here was to find something to do with the waste product after changing the oil on the car. It's always annoyed me that I couldn't find any use for the stuff or even find a satisfying recycling process - as I understand it the local recycling centre just sends it for incineration.
But of course the solution was in the family the whole time! My Granda used to use the stuff as black paint for the 'valances' of whitewashed walls and that was a good fifty years ago. My pal Brian (gardener, wind-surfer and shark-fisherman; honestly) tells me that one of his clients sloshes the oil from his fleet of fork-lift trucks directly onto wooden fences. It works well as a wood preservative but needless to say it'll ruin your clothes should you brush up against it. That would certainly ruin the barbecue, I'd say. Especially if you got too close to the grill immediately afterwards.
Anyway, mine is a sort of compromise. The paraffin thinner helps it to soak right into the wood and cure fairly quickly. I made this video months ago and my home-made stuff seems to be lasting just as well as the shop bought product.
So if you fancy a bit combined environmentalism and cheapskatery combined, give it a go.
Thanks for reading this far. God bless you, stay healthy and be sure to leave a comment.
Hi my father used to apply spend engine oil on timber to prevent it from rotting . where he is living is a wet cold climate , winters get to -10 Celsius. In garden there was shed and in front of a shed was a small wooden platform , because it was in contact with ground he covered it wit a thick coat of spend motor oil. Almost a decade now passed and this platform is in fine condition . he is saying its less effective than buying pressure treatment wood but as effective as store bough wood protectors. Obviously its not for interior , but do not listen to people who scream , "cancer! Wear gloves , hazmat and three Jhonnies on top " .
People on daily basis are repairing engines , their hands are covered with motor oil , but it doesn't look like their fingers are falling off .
Cheers.
@@sergeyromanchenko5529 Hi Sergey, thanks for looking in. Yes, this is a decent way to use sump oil if you have it. Cheers mate and thanks again.
"Nothing is useless" (with the possible exception of my brother in law..) LOVE IT! Also my mantra, minus the actual wording. Good stuff, I've been hoarding old motor oil for decades. In the U.S., the old timers mix it with diesel fuel or home heating oil (same thing as diesel w/out the dye and extra frikkin tax..). Nice job, I plan on doing the same thing.
Thanks for looking in mate, I really appreciate it. Yes, other folks Stateside have mentioned this. I used paraffin oil simply because it's a good bit cheaper than diesel - it's taxed to the hilt here. Cheers mate and I hope you will take a look at some of my other vids, I think they'll make you smile.
Hello our dear friend Mark! Thanks for the interesting video! We liked it very much. Before that, we did not know that paraffin oil must be added to used engine oil. 15 years ago we built a small warehouse from pine boards, which we received by dismantling pallets from under bricks. The boards were coated with used synthetic oil prior to assembly. Until now, traces of wood destruction are not observed. Due to the absence of a hat on your head, we realized that now it is warm in Northern Ireland🌈🌞😊. We wish you and your family and friends comfortable weather, good health and good mood!
Привіт дорогі друзі! Парафінова олія зовсім не потрібна, вона лише трохи полегшує життя - її легше розподіляти, висихає набагато швидше і набагато менш брудно, коли вона суха. Я дуже задоволений результатами. Я зробив це відео кілька місяців тому, і деревина все ще виглядає дуже свіжою та щойно обробленою. Я зазвичай обробляю паркан з інтервалом у два роки - я постараюся не забути переглянути свій чудовий новий продукт у 2023 році! І ви маєте рацію, тут було дуже спекотно; 32С. Можливо, десь ще не спекотно, але для нас це новий рекорд! На щастя, на цьому тижні погода не така спекотна, і у нас випало багато дощів - саду це дуже потрібно. Дякую, що завжди шукаєте своїх друзів, і вибачте, що я не завжди пишу вашою мовою. Бог благословить вас і будьте здорові.
I have used sump oil on my shed and fencing for maybe 10 + years now and it is great, I use it on posts that I put into the ground and they are still holding up now with no sign of rot.
I thin my oil with white spirit but I have used it undiluted to although it is hard to spread.
I have one problem however....my neighbour likes to lean on the fence whilst chatting to me and nearly always forgets and gets his nice white tshirt ruined.
Hi Neil, thanks for looking in, I genuinely appreciate it and I hope you'll take a look at some of my other vids; I think they'll give you a few giggles. Yeah, I experimented with neat oil to start with but, as you say, it's impractically gloopy and just too darn messy. The diluted version does seem to adhere better but don't wear your white tuxedo when come to our barbecue. I hadn't thought of using white spirit - I assumed paraffin oil would be cheapest but honestly I didn't think to check the prices. Incidentally, I went to school with a bloke called George Neil who went to be a famous local footballer. So. There you are.
Interesting idea! I also change my own oil, but I think I'll pass on staining my fence with it as I can just see myself getting coated in the stuff🤣🤣
You're right Grant, it does have the potential to be very messy. But then, so does the store-bought stuff! Thanks for looking in mate. Love to the family.
Hello my dear friend Mark,
I support the idea of recycling. Because we agree with you. The garden fences looked great. Thank you for sharing. Stay healthy and happy. See you anytime. big greetings. Kind regards. Your friend Mehmet
Mehmet! Thanks so much for looking in again! I made that vid quite a while ago and the home-made stuff is lasting very well. And we have a lot of weather here in Northern Ireland! Cheers mate, God bless you and stay healthy.
Thank you for recording and posting this educational video.
You're very welcome. I hope you will take a look at some of my other vids, I think they might make you smile. Thanks for looking in.
I remember when I was a youngster ( 60s) a lot of the old fellas did this, I'm a fence erector and have mixed creasote and old sump oil and used on my own fence, it can take a few months to mellow down to a nice chestnut colour.
Nice vid.
Thanks so much for looking in Jeff, you story makes me feel greatly justified in my little experiment! I'm looking out the window at my fence and, although there's not a great deal of difference, I'd say the home made creosote is lasting a little bit better. And we have a lot of rain here.
Thanks again for looking in mate; I hope you'll take a look at some of my other vids, I think they will make you smile. Cheers.
I’ve always used roofing tar, kerosene and old oil. You want a paint consistency. The part of the post that goes in the ground should be wrapped with a garbage bag to further protect it from rot.
That sounds good mate, thanks for looking in!
Wrong the wood in the ground won’t rot it’s the few inches above the ground you worry about
It turned out really nice. Great ideas!
Thanks so much for looking in, I really appreciate it. Perhaps you'd like to take a look at some of my other vids, I think they'll make you smile. Thanks again.
@@MarkMcCluney Perfect idea!
I had a smart-Alecy comment ready... "That's a grand job so long as nobody touches it... ever!" but you won. Good job. Also, the oil in the recycling centre is recycled. One of my mates is a mechanic and he has two of those huge containers-in-a-cage affairs for waste oil and the oil recycle guys are very keen to get it from him. I hope all is well over there and you are all stocked up for the next lockdown.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
You reckon we're in for another bout of stay-indoors? Boy, this is getting beyond a joke. I'm glad to hear they do make an effort to genuinely reuse the stuff, but in the meantime I think I've got a new recipe! If you make a real effort to rub up and down on the fence (if that's your idea of a good time) then yeah, you'll get grimy, but then that could happen on a lot of surfaces around here. Just don't wear your white tuxedo when your come to visit. And of course oil-based creosote is getting harder to find now; I don't think it's actually been banned but the water-based stuff (which lasts no time in my experience) but it just doesn't seem to be available. I'm quite happy to be corrected about all this! I hope you're both getting stronger and healthier with every passing day and enjoying the changable weather. Cheers mate, and love to Mrs. Soda.
I agree with you, the oily creosote seems better than the water based stuff but that is probably in my head. I just sprayed a shed here and it wasn't nearly as satisfying as brushing on creosote because I didn't get that "Nothing will get past that" feeling even though I was promised good penetration by the blurb. Also, spraying used 50% more liquid than brushing the same stuff on but that could be my inexperience spraying for the first time. It saved a lot of time though!
Anyway, keep safe and keep spoiling Mrs Mark.

You can also make an oil burner and enjoy free heat during winter. But you need to have enough to make it worth while.
Have no doubts about what they do with it at the recycling center. 🔥
Hi Leo! I've been corrected about recycling centres here - apparently they do recycle it but, just like using it in the burner, it's needed in appropriately large quantities. For my own purposes I'm glad to a successful and cheap alternative! Thanks for always looking in mate, I really appreciate it. Love to you and the Boss Lady and stay healthy.
The master of recycling! Stinky old stuff is creosote but can't argue that it does it's job very well. Looks lovely on the fence mate
Hey, thanks for looking in Clint. Yeah, very encouraging to make a useable and practical product out of something that used to be a problem. And it certainly works better the water-based alternative. Thanks again mate.
thank you for your work, your country is very beautiful
Thank you for looking in again Tanju, I really appreciate it. And you're right - Northern Ireland is a very beautiful little country, I am mightily blessed and glad to live here. Thank you again.
That's a good idea mark , real creosote is difficult to get hold of here ,luckily I had 10 0r 12 gallons left and I add waste oil from my cultivator to it to eke it out.
Talking of paraffin, we had those heaters in our old house when I was a child and when I was a bit older and playing in the fields on a farm near me, they had a lend lease TVO engine tractor, the smell when turned over from petrol to paraffin was, to my mind, lovely lol😃 Best wishes to you and the nice lady mate, Bram
It was really cheapskate-ism which inspired this idea but you're not wrong about the oil-based stuff getting harder to get. There's a very big family-run hardware supplier near here who cater mostly for the local farmers, of whom there are many, and Real Creosote is still available from them but only in great big drums. Well out of my league. The water-based stuff has an inherent flaw as far as I can see - it might work well in Italy or Spain but Ireland has this stuff called 'rain' which renders the water-based wood preservative rather impotent. I promise we have tried it buy found it wanting. So when I tried this out and successfully, well just call me Mr. Smug! And since I usually do oil changes every other year and creosote the fences every other year too, there is an irresistable synchronicity which cannot be denied. Thanks for looking in Bram, I appreciate it immensely and that's no joke. Love to you and Les. God bless you both and stay healthy.
I am with you on stuff Mark, always trying to find ways to reuse stuff rather than throwing away. in UK of course only Farmers are allowed to buy proper Creosote we have to settle for the inferior Creocote for obscure safety reasons. I believe that Creosote come from coal tar, the same stuff that used to be in Wrights Coal tar soap which is also banned now (you can still get the soap but it is now just flavoured rather than using coal tar). I always add used sump oil by mixing it with Creocote, it makes it darker and makes the product go further.
Being a scrimper I tried using old cooking oil mixed with the creocote but it left the shed smelling of Chips for about one year and took months to dry! Thanks for an interesting video Mark.
Thanks for looking in again John. Yes, the real stuff definitely lasts a lot longer and is much more difficult to get, unless you're prepared to buy in large quantities. I hope it doesn't sound like hubris (is that the right word?) but I'm quite proud of this one; not only is a genuinely useful and cheap alternative to something now unavailable, but it also reuses something which before was nasty and difficult to recycle. Pardon me if I look a little smug! Thanks again mate and keep us posted about Mrs. Scrimper's e-bike - I'm looking forward to seeing that. Cheers.
Your video is very attractive, creative, vibrant, colorful and interesting! thanks for sharing! Learn from you! I wish you good luck every day!
Thanks so much for looking in, I hope you'll take a look at some of my other vids, I think they'll make you smile. God bless you and stay healthy!
Hi Mark, You have to be careful as the Creosote Glots may watch this video and get worried. LOL.
Brilliant idea and if I still did the servicing on our cars it is something I would do.
I could not tell the difference either. You are on a winner Mark.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
Thanks so much for always looking in Huw, I genuinely appreciate it. That was a few months ago and the fence still looks very fresh - I feel pretty smug every time I drive into our driveway. It's very satisfying to find a properly useful purpose for something has otherwise been a problem. Cheers mate; God bless, bless healthy, love to Jane and look after that back.
Great idea, wouldn't have even crossed my mind! Many a childhood afternoon spent cresoting fences back in the day, wasn't by choice mind you 😂
Hey Pog! I'd thought of trying this years ago but never tried before this. It's surprisingly successful and since 'proper' creosote is being phased out I've got a back up plan. Thanks for looking in again mate, I really appreciate it as always. Stay healthy mate.
@@MarkMcCluney As it happens I'm getting an oil change tomorrow, want me to send over the old? Haha Always a pleasure, take care mate 😁
@@tfturning Sounds good mate. Stick it in a jiffy bag and post it right over. I'll treat you to a curry by return of post!
@@MarkMcCluney Deal! 😂😂😂
I’ve been using ‘creocote’, the creosote substitute, which seems ok although it’s a bit dear at £12. I was lucky enough to find half a gallon of ‘real’ creosote on a disused allotment but it’s so precious I’m reluctant to use it! I like your idea. Good man.
Thanks Brian! I've come across something called creocote or creocoat too but it was water-based. Fair enough, it's probably less chemically nasty but we have this stuff called rain in Northern Ireland and it's water-based too! The proper stuff is still available to the farming community here but only in very large quantities impractical and unaffordable for us ordinary householders. The waste oil thing started as a bit of cheapskatery but now it's rather more necessary. I'll be doing my fences with my home made stuff again this year so if you pop round for our summer barbecue don't wear your white tuxedo. Cheers mate and thanks for looking in.
Came out grand mare, and nice use of old oil. So I remember paraffin heaters growing up, once us kids almost burnt the house down as the heater toppled over…😯
I know what you mean mate. My folks moved into a house that was a good bit above their means and it was a while before we could afford central heating. The paraffin heater sat on a break in the staircase and was treated like a shrine, it had to be afforded the utmost respect on passing. I suppose the smell ought to fill me with dread but it just reminds of Christmas time now! Thanks for always looking in Harki, I really appreciate it.
My friends Dad always painted his shed with cresote and it's still perfect after over 50 years ☺️
Hi Nicola, thanks for looking in! Proper old school creosote is excellent stuff but rather frowned upon because it's oil-based. I thought I'd try to make good stuff out of a waste product. I usually creosote my fence every couple of years but my home brew is lasting 'way longer than the store-bought. Result! I hope you'll have a look at some of my other vids, I think they'll make you smile. Thanks again.
@@MarkMcCluney I've subscribed 😊 I'll show my friends dad and neighbour your video as they will be over the moon on how you've recycled old oil ☺️. I'll watch some of your videos with my tea this week. I forgot to say well done on finding a use for the oil ☺️ 👍👍👍 Have a lovely day ☺️
@@nicolasutcliffe1406 Cheers Nicola, I really appreciate it! I had a quick peek at your channel; are you a drummer? I took some drumming lessons a few years back and would love to get back to it, but where to put a kit? Maybe during the year I might think of something. Watch this space. Thanks again.
@@MarkMcCluney I've got a drum kit that I play a basic rock beat on every now and again when I want to pretend to be a rock star 😂
The only thing paraffin oil is for is a solvent. Kerosene will work just fine. I am thinking of making 2 slightly different types. People using linseed oil and mineral spirits also add melted wax, either beeswax or paraffin. I think a couple of coats regular then finish off with wax added will help seal the wood better. I have found some references on filtering the oil. That would be better than straight dirty used oil. So my thoughts is filtered oil and Kerosene then last coat is filtered oil kerosene and paraffin melted in, it should be more past like.
Thanks for looking in and for your suggestions!
Wow...don't think i ever saw anyone do that before. That is really a good recycle job you did. Would be really interesting to see how it holds up over time and weather. Maybe do a follow up to the video at a later date. It really did come out looking good.
That's an excellent idea Randy. As I'm sure you know we have a lot of wet weather here in Ireland so we really need to protect all our outdoor woodwork. Fences are often protected with this stuff but lately the oil-based creosote has been largely replaced with a water-based alternative. Can you spot the flaw here? Well, we were prepared to give the stuff a try but as you might imagine it's not the most impressive, even if it is commendably more environmentally-friendly. Since waste oil is hard to recycle (and I now know that it is recycled locally and not just incinerated as I thought) I though I'd try to kill several birds with one recipe and it seems to have been quite successful. And as per your suggestion I'll return to it in a year or two to see how it compares with the 'proper' stuff. Cheers mate. Thanks for looking in and stay healthy!
used old oil on the fences for a while now works well, diesel oil is the best over petrol oil.. you save a fortune, but takes a while to really sink in so a semi warm day helps and no need to use paraffin
That sounds good Alexander. The idea was really just to reuse what I believed at the time to be a completely waste product - I know now that some boroughs here will recycle sump oil - so I wasn't concerned about its utility. Thanks for looking in mate, I really appreciate it. I hope you will take a look at some of my other vids, I think they'll make you smile.
Its the next best thing old petrol oil can wash off, i also look for pallets as its very good ruff wood and sometimes better i always see them in skips ect there good for repairing fences, you never see a rotten pallet that's for sure lol @@MarkMcCluney
Great work mark
Thank you Richy! Thanks for dropping in and I hope you'll take a look at some of my other vids, I think they'll give you a few giggles.
Alot of people use burnt motor oil and mix with diesel fuel and treat the wood decks on their trailers . It works great
I guess that's about what I was doing here so I feel like I'm in good company! Thanks for looking in Mike, I hope you'll take a look at some of my other vids, I think they'll make you smile. Thanks again mate.
Interresting idea, Mark :D And a nice re-cycling project. It has oil to protect the wood and color from the soot. So, I can't see why it shouldn't work. Cheers.
It's been on for a few months now (I made that vid a while ago) and it seems to be lasting just as well as the 'proper' stuff. I think this is how I'll preserve my fences from now on! Just don't wear your white tuxedo if you come to visit...
good friend for sharing 💖💚💚💜

Very nice!
Merci beaucoup Mic! I hope you will take a look at some of my other vids, I think they will make you smile. Encore, merci!

Anything home made is the best:) Stay well Mark!
Couldn't agree more Dany, especially when it's saving money mate! God bless you and stay healthy.
@@MarkMcCluney Oh man - you got that right. You be well as well Mark and thank you!
Hi Mark, I enjoyed the video and know yer smart enough to wear gloves and limit the use of this to open air. But not everyone watching this is. Might be worth putting a note in the video about wearing gloves and only using in a well ventilated area given the carcinogens involved. Best regards. R
Thanks Richard, that's a good warning mate. I'll try to edit the description if I can figure out how to. Thanks so much for looking in. I hope you'll take a look at some of my other vids, I think they'll give you a few giggles.
Used to do the same thing with used oil and kerosene. Put in a pump sprayer and go to town
Yes, a sprayer gadget would be just the thing for this! Cheers mate and thanks for looking in. I hope you'll take a look at some of my other vids, I think they'll make you smile. Thanks again.
It is very commendable of you to want to put the used oil to good use. However, I am not sure if it is a good idea to paint the fence with it.
Best regards Stephan
Stephan! Vielen Dank, dass Sie immer in meinen Freund schauen, es ermutigt mich wirklich, weiterhin Videos zu machen. Mein selbstgemachtes Kreosot scheint sehr gut zu funktionieren. Wir hatten diese Woche nach einem ungewöhnlich heißen Monat viel Regen hier. Ich habe mir die Zäune genau angeschaut und die öligen Teile haben keine Probleme, es läuft nicht in den Boden oder ähnliches, daher war ich überrascht, dass Sie das für eine schlechte Idee hielten. Ich respektiere Ihre Meinung zu diesen Dingen sehr - was war Ihrer Meinung nach ein Problem? Nochmals vielen Dank, Kumpel, und ich hoffe, dass es dort gut läuft. Bleib gesund mein Freund!
@@MarkMcCluney Dear friend. Used oil must be disposed of professionally. Your fence was previously organic and you could have burned it at some point without any problems, now you would actually have to dispose of it professionally.
Now we can only hope that it will last forever.
Very interesting. Love the idea. Is that Creocoat or Creosote? Isn't creosote the stuff that coats the inside of chimneys?
You're right Tom; creosote is a name for an oily tar usually distilled from coal but also from resinous woods. In the UK and Ireland the term is used directly for the diluted tar generally used as a wood preservative so we just talk about 'creosote-ing the fence'. I didn't mention in the vid that the oil-based product is becoming rarer as more environmentally-sound water-based alternatives are encouraged. Unfortunately they don't last well (it rains a lot here) so the oil-based creosote is at a premium! Being able to use something otherwise useless to make a cheaper and longer-lasting wood protection seems like an all-round winner! Thanks for looking in mate, I really appreciate it.
Hi Mark, just subd. Brown gold! That’ll last 👌 all the best rob
Cheers Rob, thanks for looking in. I returned the favour and I'm looking forward to a good oul' binge of your vids, they look terrific. Thanks again.
Paraffin and diesel are very similar, maybe that would make it a little cheaper to make?
I think you're right Dylan; diesel oil would, by my guess, be a very acceptable alternative. It just depends on the local prices. I'm amazed at how much interest this vid generated! It was really intended as just a quick time-filler and it's one of my most popular. I hope you'll take a look at some of my other vids, I think they'll make you smile. Cheers mate and thanks for looking in.
@@MarkMcCluney I’ll definitely check out some of your other videos. Thanks for sharing.
How's the fence holding up ? Did the engine oil smell lessen ?
Funny you should mention it. I'm just trying to get some enthusiasm worked up to give a new coat. The home made stuff has performed just as well as the oil-based 'proper' product - there's really no difference in appearance or degree of protection. There was never much of a smell and there's really none at all now. However, that era has come to end - I don't do my own oil changes anymore and the waste oil goes for recycling nowadays. The good news is that I'm able to buy oil-based creosote again! It seems the regulations have changed and it's available to householders again. Thanks for looking in, I really appreciate it.
Mark...I love it! There's oil in paint, right? It seems like you've got this thing figured out. When I hear Creosote, I think of that nasty stuff that builds up in my chimney that I have to scrap out every year.
Sorry so late in responding...hope things are cooling off over there, we've had one of the coolest summers on record here.
Hi Rob! Yes, the weather has most definitely cooled off and needless to say we're all complaining about that now! I'll drop you a line of email about my current adventure...
You can't see it in the video but I'm wearing latex gloves whilst creosoting the fence and you really ought to do the same - waste oil products are thought to be carcinogenic and while the risk is very small here there's no point in taking a chance. Treat all chemical products as hazardous and be careful how you use them. Thanks for looking after yourself.
Great video! I don't believe they sell creosote in the uk anymore, they call it things like Creocote. I used to coat our fences with it when i was a kid, it stank but once the creosote soaked into the wood, rain would roll off it in beads and the finish wouldn't flake off. My dad used to mix old engine oil with creosote. Maybe you can dissolve chimney soot in paraffin to get the tar out and perhaps sive out any bits? Handy if you have a wood burner chimney to clean each year. Thanks again
Thanks mate, I really appreciate you dropping by. Actually real oil-based creosote is available but only in very large amounts, like forty gallon drums, for agricultural purposes. I think it would be an interesting, but messy, experiment to try dissolving soot in an appropriate solvent - in my own case I was just trying to use up the sump oil. Cheers mate and thanks again.
@@MarkMcCluney ah I see they're just trying to stop it being used for small DIY. I watched a guy in the US make oil creosote using 50/50 mix of sump oil and diesel. Definitely a good way to use old oil. Price of diesel not cheap now 😂 also teaches people not to lean on your fence! 😂 yes it could be messy trying to dissolve the soot. All I could think was leaving the soot to soak in diesel over winter then siving it out. Not sure if it would dissolve the creosote tar though.
So how did you make creosote? Did you add motor oil, paraffin, and creosote?
Just waste motor oil diluted with paraffin oil. I really just wanted to find a way to reuse the waste oil rather than invent a new product. Thanks for looking in!
Good job! I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Maybe you’re on to something! 🙂
Thanks Kat! I'm looking out at it right now and I can't tell where I stopped one and started the other! One thing I do remember - the store bought stuff needed three coats but Markie's Patented Home-Brew Creosote took only two. Do I look a little smug or what? I'll review its success in a year or two but frankly I'm quietly confident. God bless you all there and stay healthy.
@@MarkMcCluney thank you for your Blessing Mark and right back to you my friend.🙏
I think that’s really awesome what you’ve done! In a year from now maybe we will see it on the store shelves! 🙂
A nice diversion from some online training im being forced to do. Good on you for being inventive. I looked up creosote in wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creosote It had medicinal uses in the past. We are lucky that our local council has a depot where I can drop off used engine, probably a bit for for you to travel 😊✈🚢. I liked the banjo music added an essential element to you scientific inquiry.
That's a good point Bernie - I suppose things like coal-tar shampoo and other skin ailment treatments are made from raw creosote. I wouldn't go gargling any wood-preservative though... We have three very comprehensive recycling centres within about twenty minutes from here and they'll take most things provided you bring it yourself. The problem with sump oil is transporting the filthy muck. Finding a good use for something otherwise useless is greatly satisfying; it was really my Granda who inspired me to try this, it's just that it took me fifty years to get round to trying it. Oh well... Cheers mate, God bless you all there and stay healthy.
Well done Mark! Looking forward to taking some from you for my fence as well. 🙂
By the way, I noticed the hedges were really well cut on the other side of the fence. Did you cut the edges? 🤣
Bless you bro 🙌🏿
Ha! Welcome here dear brother! Tell me this funny guy, who cuts your hedges? Good to hear from you mate, let's get together soon. God bless you and love to you all.

Do this home made Creosote prevent termites
@@dewaynewilliams6733 Hi DeWayne. I don't know as we don't have termites here in Northern Ireland but it's certainly worth a try. Thanks for looking in.
Would this mixture stop termites from eating the wood
@@dewaynewilliams6733 That's a very good question DeWayne. I really don't know as we don't have termites here in Northern Ireland. I do know that wasps will not eat the wood from oil-based creosote projected garden furniture as they find the oil repellent. Sorry I can't help mate but thanks so much for looking in. I hope you'll take a look at some of my other vids, I think they'll make you smile.
It's not creosote, it's just diluted oil ?????
Believe me mate, it works a treat. Thanks for looking in.
