The fact that wooden structures look beautiful is no secret to anyone. However, such designs do not differ in durability and reliability. Wood is a very picky material that cannot stand moisture, active exposure to sunlight, and various adverse conditions. Buildings made of this material can become unusable in several years, the tree will either rot from moisture or crack from the sun.
To increase the service life of wood, it is necessary to properly care for it, protect it from various negative factors.
After all, if you think about it, in private sectors, as well as outside the city, there are many wooden houses that have served their owners for decades. Moreover, not only houses are built from wood, but also fences, sheds, all kinds of outbuildings, wells, etc. Each timber must be processed before use in order to increase its reliability and durability.
For these purposes, many people use varnish that protects the wood, making it more beautiful. Also, for these purposes, antiseptics and impregnations are used, which are not cheap. They save the tree from harmful insects, rotting, preserve the structure of the material for about a year. After a while, the coverage must be renewed.
Although this option is effective, it is expensive and not very convenient. I will share with you a budget and easy way to save wood for a long time.
Today I will teach you how to prepare the impregnation yourself. You may have already heard about this recipe, but haven't used it yet. So it's time to fix it!
To prepare the impregnation, you need to take diesel fuel, as well as used engine oil in a ratio of 8 to 1. Mix all this well and voila! Impregnation is ready! To process wood with it, use a paint brush.
By the way, this method is suitable for the treatment of external surfaces. The impregnation ingredients are too toxic to be used indoors.
Homemade impregnation withstands the sun's rays, does not deteriorate from precipitation. The penetration depth of the impregnation into the wood is 5 centimeters. This effect cannot be achieved with purchased products.
After processing with homemade impregnation, wooden buildings will serve for several years, they will not be afraid of various negative natural factors. The mixture will also give the wood an attractive and aesthetic appearance, it will darken and gain additional shine.
You can also achieve a lightening effect, but for this, the used oil must be replaced with a new one. Then after processing it will look as if the wood has been varnished, it will receive a natural shine.
