Hi All

Has to be a conspiracy. Last week I treated a shed with Creosote Sub.
Looked at the coverage on the can & decided 2 x 4 litres would be easily
enough.

Ran out leaving an area 18" x 24" untreated, had to buy another 4 litres.

Think about it though. The same happens with emulsion paint, wallpaper
paste, mortar, plaster, you name it. How many of us have three quarters of
a tin of something in the garage?

They must know how big the average shed, room etc is. Exactly how big -
then they deliberately package the stuff it 'too big' or too small'
containers.

A why is one bottle of wine not quite enough, but two is too much?

What do you think?

I think the more coverage they can claim, the more sales they'll get
from people that check the labels. Then once you've bought it youre not
going to finish the job with someone else's product. Retailers play
these sort of marketing games routinely, but it has nothing to do with
conspiracy.

Conspiracy: a secret agreement between two or more people to perform an
unlawful act
