Rust-Oleum1904A Wolman (Woodlife) CopperCoat Green Wood Preservative-Below Ground, Quart

I used Woodlife wood preservative on leftover construction wood to build a garden gate. After applying it, I lightly sanded the wood and sealed it with three coats of spar urethane, sanding between each.Woodlife acts as a crucial first defense against moisture-related mold and pests, but it doesn’t seal wood from water damage—an additional topcoat is necessary. It’s great for outdoor wood or any wood exposed to fluctuating temperatures and humidity, including house beams (though not for food-contact surfaces).For easy application, I used a spray bottle and let it dry overnight. The clear version dried invisibly. A year later, my gate remains strong, mold-free, and pest-free, despite a design flaw: I didn't shape the wood scraps used in it's construction and they're blocky pieces with perfect flat sides—the top was flat, which caused water to pool. Over time, this wore down the sealant, but Woodlife prevented rot or infestation. I have time to address the issue.The attached pictures show the year-old finished gate as the woodlife had dried, when the gate was installed (nighttime picture), and now (daytime picture). Hope this helps!

Only time will tell how good the product works. Dries very quickly.

The product is fine, but the can came a little open. I say this so that they can be more careful with future customers and avoid any incidents.

Went on well

Great for inground wood fence post to slow down rot.

This wood preservative was recommended years back by a company that sells porch swings in New Orleans. If it's good enough for New Orleans weather, it's good enough for me. It's done a great job preserving that swing and any other wooden outdoor furniture for us. There's very little change in the wood color and your can apply stain over it. Highly recommend.

I love this stuff. I had to get 6x 1-quart as the gallons can no longer be sent to NJ. Why? I can get quarts or 5-gallon drums, but not the one I want!But to be honest, the quart size is a lot more convenient and I spill less now. But the red cap on the top is an idiotic design - you have to get your glasses on to see what's going on, or just heave and twist until it comes off. Why can't it just unscrew?

I have NOT used, opened or exposed myself to this hazardous product! PPE items are required such as a respirator that blocks hazardous vapors. The use of this item causes harmful & possible deadly results just from the vapors. The precautions were not available when I reviewed this product for purchase. The fault is all mine for not doing complete research. I do not want to keep spending money for such a hazardous product.
