Looked at Bedec Barn paint & it's a water based, acrylic paint with a very similar spec to Cuprinol Garden Shades which I used. There are many...
My S/H is 20mm T&G which is a lot better than the really cheap 12mm stuff but 70mm is going to be a whole different story & don't logs that thick...
Hi d000hg, thanks for that; agree Bitumen would look **** so a non-starter. Interested to hear which Osmo product you looked at & what others did...
