Time to get out the wire wool and apply some elbow grease
Have a look on YouTube as I seem to remember Roger Bisby of Skill builders did a test on this.

Proper creosote went the same way as Nitromors. Now there's some wishy-washy alternative which has the same sticking power as watered down soy sauce.
As an apprentice 48 years ago the stripping of Shellac’s and old varnish surfaces was a job you did. I remember back then if you got some little flicks off the brush on to your bare skin it was hell. At the end of the day you looked like you had measles. As said it would not strip the skin of a rice pudding now. All to do with H&S changes back in 2008 I remember it well all my COSHE Assessments had to be changed for the Risk and Method Statements.
I found something pretty effective on aluminium castings, the Dirtkiller attachment on my pressure washer, it just eats paint, obviously there are a lot of things you mustn't point it at.
Vapour-blasting seems to be the new method, and you can find several people offering the service on a kind of 'paying hobby' status.
Have a search on Facebook Marketplace. I doubt you'd have to travel more then 50miles.
Not a lot of money and leaves the castings/components ready for a wipe down with acetone and painting/laquering.
Yes indeed.Originally Posted by Filterlab
The old creosote penetrated and protected the wood.
Today's stuff in not much better than emulsion that simply lies on the surface and gets virtually washed away after a season.

I mixed 50-50 new creosote and used engine oil.
Seems to almost be like the original stuff...albeit not as environmental.
Yes it's called creocote now I think. I bought some years ago and added my old engine oil from my oil change. Just don't smoke next to my fence please.
Exactly the same with Jeyes fluid , the new stuff is absolute garbage .
Banned from domestic use in 2003 under EU biocidal products regulation due to environment and health issues (col tar based). Still available for commercial use (railway sleepers, telegraph poles, agricultural fencing). A further increase in the ban is coming in early 2005 except for railway sleepers and telegraph poles.

Typo, yes 2025

Yup Chris is correct, we used to use meth c to remove resin from molds. With the new “ dumbed down” paint strippers you use more, need more local extraction and the job took three times as long, progress eh?
We're saved.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
