Painting Pasture Fence?
Larry D. Wooten
Hello. My wife and I are getting ready to paint our fences, and need to
know what product is used for "oil board"? We have checked with fence
and paint companys in our area, but they do not know.
Thanks in advace for any help.

would look dark to the eye). Creasote (which I think is now viewed as a
carcinogen --mildly)was used heavily in the 70's as a woodpreservative
that prevented cribbing and chewing (it tastes wicked ).

I use burned motor oil (we change our own and save it), and I mix it
with enough kerosene so it will spray through the paint sprayer. (I use
a chemical sprayer).
Gives the fence a deep brown color, and helps to keep the wood
preserved.

Well, I would hope you /aren't/ using creosote on a pasture fence...it's
poisonous to horses...there are much better modern wood preservatives that
do the same job without the risk...

What kind of ''poionous''? Do you mean drop-dead-instantly poisonous,
or get-sick-and-eventually-die poisonous, or burns-their-mouths
poisonous, or tastes-absolutely-foul poisonous ??

I'm not entirely sure just how poisonous, but I know it's fairly serious.

Well, fellow horse lovers do not take this wrong, but there is only *one*
sure thing that I know of to preserve wood and stop horses from eating it.
This magikial substance has been used successfully on racetracks worldwide by
trainers in the know. The next time you change the oil in your vehicle of
choice, save it. It is not harmful to the degree cresote is, but preserves
wood nicely and the amount of preserved wood a horse would have to eat to get
seriously ill over is quite a large amount. It is all the additives in the
oil the horse cannot abide to taste. I have watched horse that will lick the
cayenne off the walls in thier stalls refuse to even sniff at a surface
treated with used motor oil.
