Roxil Wood Preserver 5 litre

Plenty left

I had to use it on an external structural beam of around 12” x 16” that had been infested with wood boring bugs and wood lice due to a leaking roof onto it and one end being exposed. It’s about 4 m long. I did all the 7 joists coming off it which are 6 feet long and 3” x 5”. I used all the 5L. For large parts of the main structural beam there were large voids and I wanted to soak the wood. Of If I had done 3 normal coats there would be another 2.5L left. But by soaking I know I stopped the infestations. I wore a proper mask and gloves and no problems. I would say it does smell slightly and when painting it on smooth wood it does dry well and quickly. I applied with a good brush with good holding ability, not a cheap brush that won’t hold liquid well. As this is not like paint, it’s more of a liquid. I applied in 20 degree heat and allowed 5 days for it to dry due to the amount I had saturated with. But the flat parts did dry as per the manufacturers instructions, I think 48 hours after doing the 3 coats 2 hours apart. I fixed the roof so didn’t need to use the manufacturers waterproofing cream.

Good product

Very good product, I really like the Roxil range of products. Easy to use, highly recommended 👍

Seems good value

Because this is transparent I have no idea if I'm going over the same patch multiple times could have a little tint I feel to stop this happening.

Came quickly and happy with this item.

Used to coat some softwood sleeper garden furniture. A little goes a very long way. Easy to apply. Brushes clean off in soapy water. I'll update this to comment on its effectiveness in a couple of years time! My only gripe is the container. It doesn't pour cleanly and it's difficult to avoid spillage, particularly when it's near full.
