Remember the old days when paint, engine oil, creosote etc was the real deal. Manly and mighty because of the chemicals within. Alas, in recent years the Friends of the Lentil have got jolly upset and these liquids are a pale shadow of their former selves.
But fear not! There is a way to cheap!y man-up your stuff, and maybe even replace it altogether with a home made substitute, and the recipes are usually very cheap.
Creosote:
5L modern creosote substitute, a brown water stuff seemingly made from dishwater.
5L used engine oil, preferably from a diesel.
1L of black gloss paint, the cheaper the better. Real cheap pound store stuff is great.
1L white spirit.
Mix 'em together, paint them on, and your fence panels will last for years.
Waxoyl:
2L white spirit.
2L new engine oil, machine oil, or any light mineral oil.
1kg wax flakes. Very cheap on eBay, or you can take a cheesegrater to some candles.
Soax the wax in the white spirit. Keep it somewhere warm, stir daily. Within a few days you should have a runny goo that looks like cheap semolina pudding.
Once it's all dissolved pour in the oil. Mix thoroughly. Pour into a garden sprayer, and allow it to sit in hot water for 20 mins. Then spray inside doors, box sections, wheel arches, undersides, everywhere. After a day or two the white spirit evaporates leaving a fine oily, waxy layer on everything. It'll creep into gaps and between panel joins, and will self heal if damaged. This can be made for a fiver, or even for free if you've the makings knocking about. A similar amount of real waxoyl is about £30 and is no where near as good.
So, what recipes do you have to either make an old fashioned ungent, or pep up a weak vegetarian diet recipe into a manly toxic spread of yesteryear?
