My thanks to all of you who responded to my inreq. Response was divided,
but the majority seemed to feel that the use of creosote was not a good
idea. Perhaps there is a difference in the creosote formulation in USA
compared to other parts of the world??? This isn't clear to me. I do
know that brand names or common names can sometimes differ widely.
I think I'll try the waterproofing formula suggested by William Lord.
I'm curious how beeswax would do as a substitute for paraffin. Perhaps
it would make a sticky, pleasant-smelling mess! Beekeeping encourages
experimentation.
Cordially yours, Jim
