Can anyone help please, i have made some raised planters in my back
garden with old reclaimed railway sleepers. Being a bit of a novice i
didnt realise in the sun they would leak tar and other nasty stuff,
does anyone know of a way of sealing them, or any other way of masking
the tar. I have thought about tiling over the bad bits with some cheap
terracotta tiles but vant find an adhesive strong enough to do the
job.......please someone help!!!!

How about nailing roofing slates to them. You may have to trim them to
size. Get second-hand ones from a reclamation yard and used galvanised
nails. Or even roofing felt, but less attractive.
