fence sprayers ..anything cheap that will do oil /creosote?

[steveo3002]

would like something cheap that will spray used oil /creosote on my fencing

has anyone tried anything that works ..i suspect its all a bit too thick

 

[AndyStobbs]

If you've got comp air then an underseal gun would do it

 

[steveo3002]

my comp isnt really man engough to work a underseal gun for that long

One of those paraffin/cleaning guns for compressors would do the job too. Just warm the mix up before applying. It'll thin it even more. What's wrong with a brush, btw?

Good luck, my compressor will do it no problem, the problem is when you have completed spraying you will stink, --for days,your clothes will be scrap and you`ll regret ever even thinking of spraying creosote.
Dont even ask me how I know.

a cheap old spray gun will spray creosote, it might even spray the jellified red or brown stuff from B&Q if it was stirred back to a liquid

I got one of those pump up jobs that you see them spraying tar emulsion on before doing road repairs - but it was far from cheap.

I had a large barn and several lengths of fencing to do.
£200 iirc

Last time I painted my fence I just used a large decking brush, had it done in no time and my fence is huge.

yea most sprayers will work if u like ruining the neighbours garden and plants and kill the soil as well as your own

 

[awemawson]

It's a very odd thing - but that long long link was showing in shortened format when I first posted. I then went back in and added the line about the barn and the link grew to several lines !!!!!!!!!

btw very few sprayers will handle creosote for long as it dissolves the seals

I've got an Apollo 1500 HVLP spray set up I used for fences. Bit OTT as over £300 new but a neighbour uses a £30 HVLP spray set up that does just as good a job with virtually no overspray.
