Like what? Creosote works, BECAUSE it is nasty. Most of the others
are fairly useless as preservatives, though they come in pretty
colours.

I know this link is for Solihul, but it is a countrywide law and this site
explains it quite well.

That figures. "Domestic use isn't a serious problem, so we are making
it illegal." Typical of those idiots.

But that wasn't the point. I queried the statement that there were
better products available. Most of the gimmicky ones encouraged for
domestic use will colour the wood, and do little else.
