Thanks Click to expand... I use teak wood preservative. I'm sure you could use what ever you like as long as its well dried . I prefer water based products. Cheers mark. I know its not the topic but I've put copper tape round my new floor to stop the slugs this year as there on the move. Last edited: Apr 14, 2018
