Trellis just up-how long to wait for creosote to be "safe"?

Doesn't it give any guidance on the tin?

 

Hi Lollipop As far as I am aware Creosote substitute is only Harmful when wet ,In my humble oppinion I would leave it for 48 to 72 hours to dry,I do,nt tend to use it as Its still Contains a complex mixture of HYDROCARBON OILS and added Surface BIOCIDES as does original Creosote ,Hope this is of some help to you:thumb:I certainly wo,nt go against Geoff (he,s my Hero)b-0

 

Hi Lollipop I know what you mean,I have moved on to Arch Ways now ,I have two now:D
One Bird Table ,Now working on A Windmill

 

Do you remember Geoff's hammer? He'd used it so often tapping down slabs etc with the handle that it was worn down to half its size, he was a practical chap Sadly missed :(

 

Oh I didn't mean I have met him claire, I wish I had!

Its really interesting to look at the tools on some of these gardening programmes on the telly, on Ground Force and similar rubbish they always have brand new wheelbarrows or loads of big power tools on hire. Look back on those old programmes with Geoff Hamilton or Geoffrey Smith and they are obviously using their own loved tools which are a bit worse for wear sometimes. I like Carol Klein for the same reason, she's always got a pocket knife at the ready and dirty fingernails, its a sign they know what they are talking about.
