central - east central Minnesota - | mlfarms1 - 3/18/2024 20:23 What are your suggestions, experience, advice? I've read plenty about used motor oil and diesel fuel or charing the post with a weed burner. I'd like to use Creosote but of course thats nearly outlawed without a license/permit. I've read about folks making their own creosote by mixing roofing tar with gasoline or mineral spirits to thin it down. I have used a product called creo-coat in the past and it just doesn't seem like it'll live up to the original creosote. Anything you guys have used that works? We dig a post hole and then backfill with drainage rock.
The foundation coating (heavy oil/tar like product) from Menards. It's a good petro based product. Paint on a couple coats - especially the top foot where the soil line is. https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/insulation/foundation-insulation-coatings/sealbest-reg-professional-grade-non-fibered-foundation-coating/1531604/p-1444444993260-c-9532.htm .
I wonder what would happen if a guy sprinkled copper sulfate granules around the top foot of soil against the wood ?
