What's to happened J-eyes Fluid and Creosote

[Jimmy]

Used up the last of an old tin of creosote.
Normally I use the ordinary wood preserve as seen in may outlets, you can wash brushes in water.
But this was a special wood beam that needed good stuff.
Looked on tinternet and it seems you can only get creosote substitute due to some Euro regulation.

For a long while I have suspected that J-eyes Fluid isn't what it used to be.
Have the Euro pillocks adulterated that as well?

Sooner we tell them where to go the better.
Might book a ticket to the White Cliffs of Dover for Friday 24 June 2016 and give them a moony ! ( Assuming we exit )

Both have joined an ever growing list of garden-use chemicals and chemical-based products that have been shown to be, or are suspected of being, carcinogenic ...

[Jimmy]

carcinogenic , do you have to paint yourself with the stuff ?

^^^I don't mean to but I usually do Creocote rather than creosote works fine for me, but I am dreading not being able to get rat poison which I think is due next year (certified persons only)

The J-ays company declined to do the extra testing required so can no longer be used as a pesticide, now labelled as a cleaner. Product is still the same, though.

Nitromors paintstripper very weak now due to regs.

You can still get ammonium sulphamate to use as a fertiliser. Just be careful not to over fertilise all those plants.

Doesn't look like it used to years ago, more like mouth wash now.

I've read the blurb on the new ratbait regs and if it's like the latest regulations on roundup pro.. you don't have to be certifiated to buy it but you have to confirm that the person who will apply it is certificated.
So we have to get the person to either show their certification or get them to sign a very carefully prepared form.
We also sell creosote.. and if you ask the right questions, and give the right answers it can be bought but only In 20ltrs.

Personally, however, I don't use creosote, ***** fluid or roundup pro.

What am I missing? Why is everyone using the J word like a swearword?

The forum software edits it for some reason lost in the history of the vine. Its easy to get round though - Jayes

I use creosote for my chicken coops, it's hideous stuff but saves me lots of work. I Couldn't get it but asked afarmerfriend and he ordered me 20lts.

Jays says it's the same formula on their site
http://www.*****.com/en-gb/about-us/our-story/

It all began in 1875, when John ***** developed his liquid disinfectant and the patent was granted in 1877. 140 years later, his formula is still used to make the classic ***** Fluid.

Wasn't creosote banned years ago? It really is pretty nasty stuff.

Banned for domestic/household use but approved for use by professionals as part of their work. Carpenters, farmers etc.
