Roxil Wood Preserver (5L Clear) Odourless Pre-Treatment Against Dry Rot, Wet Rot, Fungal Attack and Woodworm. Solvent Free, Ready to Use, for Fence, Decking & Shed

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.

Easy to use. Does not smell when putting onto decking. ideal

It makes the decking look slightly golden in clour but the grain stands out better. I t is easy to put on and it dries in quite quickly and there is No Colour mess to get rid of when finnished. It goes on easily and if it does what it is suppose to it will be great (Dry rot,Wet rot,wood worm and loads of other protection.)

Good

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.

Seems good value

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.

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