Rust-Oleum 01901 Coppercoat Wood Preservative, 0.88-Gallon, Green

I wrote a long review and sent a video, however they would not post it. So now this will be short and sweet. The product didn’t have the strong smell as others reviewed. I did use a mask and gloves. This was used for my basement to treat the wood indoors. It went on as the can read. It dried very well. I waited two days later and did not smell anything. I loved the product. I used a brush to apply the solution. It is very liquid so be careful that it doesn’t splash on you. I do recommend this product.

Works great! Soaks up really fast. Two or three coats 30 minutes between coats works great. Probably keep pressure treated wood preserved for many years. Wear gloves and respirator mask for safety.

Good product. Came super fast. Beware of no return policy. I had issues with third party seller due to my over purchasing.

I bought this product per the reviews I read about it and applied it to the support structure of my new deck prior to decking being installed. My intent was to prolong the life of my deck. The odor is very strong when wet and a few days after drying, but it will go away within a month. Time will tell if this works, but I am glad I coated my deck's under-structure with it as the alternative was to do nothing and allow it to gradually age rot.

Read a lot of reviews that complained of the odor. I used outside and did not even notice a smell. Used carefully as to not get on me. Cleaned up very easily with soapy water. Have not had in place long enough to judge effectiveness but I am hoping. Used on cut portion of new step stringers where previous stringers rotted out after just 11 years.

Excellent quality

I built a barn, and after nailing in all he grade beams, we realized they weren't pressure treated. I didn't want to take it all off, so I ordered two gallons of this Coppercoat. I did a lot of reading about PT wood, and realized a lot of pressure treated wood is no longer "pressure" treated, and on my receipt from the lumber yard it actually said "treated lumber"... Many lumber manufacturers are now only treating the wood with a solution like Coppercoat.I knocked the wood out just a little so the Coppercoat could get behind it, and I soaked the grade beams with 6 very wet coats, using a garden sprayer to get behind the board where they meet the posts. They literally look identical to the pressure treated posts, same color, same smell.A gallon went way further than I thought it would, so having an extra gallon, I went ahead and coated the pressure treated posts too. Can't have too much protection! I even poured some at the base of the posts where they're concreted in. I'm now not worried at all, I feel like they are better protected than I would have gotten from the lumber yard.At the end of the day, there's two chemicals that protect your wood. Copper to protect from rot (alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ), copper azole (CA) or micronized copper azole (MCA)). And arsenic to protect from insect damage. As far as I'm concerned, this product if applied in several heavy coats can serve my treated wood needs...
