wood preserver for planed timber

[wrathkeg]

Hi all,

I want to apply some water based wood preserver to some planed untreated timber (floorboards, for a cold frame). I had been planning on using some Ronseal Fence Life I already have in the shed, but I see that it says not suitable for use on planed timber. Does it really matter? I see that some water based treatments e.g. Protek wood protector say specifically that it can be used on planed timber as well as rough, but of course I don't want to shell out unnecessarily.

Thanks in advance

just found some left over cuprinol shed and fence preserver which it says is suitable for planed timber. it's not water based, but it will not cost anything either....
