Overview

Barrettine Creosolve is a bitumen / wax-based treatment that has similar physical, water resistant and application characteristics to the traditional Creosote fence paint, but contains no biocides / preserver.

Please Note: This product is not suitable for use on decking or exterior wooden furniture.

Preparation

Timber surfaces to be treated should be clean, dry and free from mould, algae, lichen and other surface contaminates prior to application.

  1. Give the wood a clean with a stiff brush or broom to remove any surface dirt and debris if required
  2. Traces of surface mould, algae, lichen or moss should be removed with a scraper, stiff brush or power washer
  3. Areas affected by mould and mildew should be treated with Barrettine Mould and Mildew Cleaner
  4. Any existing instances of woodworm can be treated with Barrettine Premier Woodworm Killer
  5. For additional protection against insect attack, mould, algae and wood rot, a base coat of Barrettine Premier Universal Preservative and allowed to dry for 48 hours before applying the Creosolve
  6. Other than a wood preserver, this product can only be used on bare wood - any surface coatings of paint or varnish must be fully removed by sanding back to bare wood before application

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project and follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

  1. Apply Barrettine Creosolve by brush or by dipping the timber into the Creosolve for approximately 20 mins
  2. Allow 24 hours to dry

The best stuff on the market

Great stuff with amazing protection for exterior wood.

Does the job.

Does the job I use it for. Underside of shed floors and fence posts that go in the ground. I always use a good solvent based product for this job where it’s out of sight, in or on the ground.

It's a brown liquid. Goes on well.

Bought is a wood preserver. It's only been on the wood two weeks. Difficult to assess how good it is yet. Ask for feedback again in 5 years.

Order received on time, packed very well and secure

Product easy to use and in manageable five litre cans. Considerable price increase since I last purchased the same item, it was easy to order on the phone and delivered to my address with no hassle.

Easy to apply and does the job we want to make our new fencing last longer.

Creosolve was recommended by our contractor as the 'must have' product to maintain our new fence in tip-top condition. We have extensive fencing on all four of our boundaries and have applied two coats of Cresolve on both sides of all the fencing. Looks good and our contractor says we are doing exactly what he recommended.

Great colour, easy to apply

My son recommended this product as I didn't want to paint just protect the wood. Of my fence & wooden garden swing. It just bought out the grain in the wood & great colour

Does the job perfectly

Good value as this product goes a long way. Old sleepers now look like new and rain does not penetrate once dry. Would thoroughly recommend.

Good product, easy to use, gives good coverage

Thrilled with the light brown colour. Looking forward to the rain stopping, the fence drying out, and applying a second coat.

Soaks well into the wood

Overall not bad. Our application was treating very tarry railway sleepers, went on well, smelled awful! Not sure if it's the tar or the creosolve but there are areas that now seem to need another application after not that long.

The best product for sheds and fences.

Excellent product. Just as good as the old creosote. Easy to apply and one coat was sufficient to do the job.

Gives good cover

First coat covered well will leave it a couple of weeks to see if it needs another coat

Great product easy to use, repels the rain

Have used this product for a while now and this was my third bulk order. Product is easy to apply and repels the weather fantastically. Would highly recommend

Have used this product on a number of occasions and it always serves it purpose.

An easy to apply wood stain with deep penetration and it provides a lasting water repellent surface to fencing timber.
