Does anyone know if you have to use the sprayable Ronseal one coat
fence protector with the Ronseal pump fence sprayer,or can the normal
none sprayable protectors,the kind you put on with a brush be used with
the sprayers.

Thanks in advance for all advice.

A good friend of mine swears that it is impossible to use even Ronseal sprayable
protector with the Ronseal pump spray, and having watched the many attempts made, I agree!

But does the protector have to be the sprayable kind to use with a
sprayer or can the none sprayable kind (put it on with a brush) be
used in a sprayer,(is it to thick to use in a sprayer)

My brother in law had the same experience. Clogged up every few minutes.

I can't remember whether mine is Ronseal or Cuprinol (and I can't be
arsed to go look in the shed at the moment)- but I did discover - and it
was confirmed by the manufacturer - that once the sprayable liquids have
been subject to frost they are no longer sprayable.
Otherwise it worked fine. Sprayed about 30 fence panels in total.
