Indeed, there is a difference between transformer and waste motor oils, but both have their distinct health risks

These various home-brewed stains and preservatives- do they help resist termites and rot, or are they just for looks? Here in the Deep South, the termites will walk off with anything short of iron.

It only took about a year before the carpenter bees started in on the 3-1/2" thick window casing  :(  The window sills are already starting to look a little tired.  I don't really want to, but I may need to cover them with aluminum  :-\

don't know about southern termites, but no bugs so far here and my boards are close to dirt.

Evening all. With any of the mentioned stains, would it start to smell like an old service garage from the 50/60's? The diesel mix should have. I have bought on occasion fresh crude and sprayed with a garden sprayer on barns and fences. It doesn't stink and you can darken with extra coats. The barn is 25 years old (white pine) and still looks good. Does well on my red oak trailer floors.

Yes, the smell fades quickly, only to return once in a while on a wicked hot day.

We did like some of the above, 5 gallon diesel fuel and 2 gallon drive way sealer. Make sure it don't have sand as filler, hard on paint sprayers. :o

it is getting hard to find either roof coating or driveway stuff that does not have something added to it.

Back home in eastern Ohio one fella got Pa. crude oil (high parafin) and sprayed it on his home, beautiful and actually smelled nice. Did it for 20+ years, nice patina, and did NOT have all the really bad stuff the used oil came with.

Yes, the used motor oil imparts good rot and insect resistance. I made some footer forms out of regular el cheapo plywood when I was building my small hay barn and I brushed them with used motor oil to keep the concrete from sticking. I left them sitting outside and after 3 years they still didn't have any rot. After that, I tried it on board fence and trailer decks and it does work. The color depends on what it came out of. You get a nice brown with newer car gas engine oil and a very nice black with old diesel engine oil.
