Secret sauce for lots of outdoor wood that's either contacting the ground or going into the ground.

It's like paint and tar had a baby. It's not for exposed wood. It's a sealer for the parts that are either touching the dirt or are being concreted into it.

This shite has worked wonders for the longevity of the concreted bases on my 4x4 fence posts.

*If you're using treated wood don't apply it until it's fully cured (3-6 months)

If I build a fence I need to buy the post 3-6mo ahead of time? How many of the posts are going to be completely unusable after they finishing drying and twisting/bowing?

The never ending frustration of doing things right. It takes foreverrr

There are methods to minimize warping - proper storage being the main one.

Waiting on treated wood to cure is a beating.

Grandpa always used liquid PCB treatment. Pretty sure it fossilized everything for eternity.

I was always under the impression that creosote wasn't legal for the average Joe to use in residential areas

it is not. Restricted to professional/industrial use. There are synthetic alternatives though
