I'll be doing a bit of re-roofing over the log store shortly & have ordered some of this. Any idea of the best way to apply it. I was going to use a roller but from what I've read, it's a bit thick..............a bit like me really.........

When I have used it I used a brush. Whatever you use it's no good afterwards.Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poet -
Would that be a paint brush or sweeping brush............sorry for appearing daft, it's a natural trait of mine.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Paint brush, but mine wasn't the same make. Leave it in the sun to warm it up a bit and it will spread more easily.Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poetComment

Easiest way get it to a workable consistency without actually using thinners is to put the tin in a steel bucket & then half fill the bucket with boiling water (think of a ban-marie
), if you have a camping gas stove you can stand the bucket on that is even better 
remember to remove the lid of the paint can BEFORE putting it in the bucket.
Cheapest brush option would be a synthetic filled "creosote brush" similar to ... Shed Fence Creosote Exterior Paint Brush With POT Clip | eBayHe who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame

Good luck, it's horrible stuff.
My hubby STILL finds little flecks of it on his gloves/boots/in the garage and the last time he used it was about 3 years ago because he wasn't as careful with it as he should have beenComment

Wear throwaway everything. the stuff does dry but when it warms up it will stick to anything else and ruin it. several pairs of nitrile gloves worn at once allow the soiled top pair to be removed whilst still having hand protection.
Do it on a warm day having warmed the tin for an hour or so in hot water to thin the consistency.Comment

Cheers PW, good tip about the gloves. I'm hoping to do it on a warm day so the tin can stay in the greenhouse while I do the timber work.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

The tin would be un-opened............or would that pose a problem?sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”
