I keep walking into sheds and other places selling Cuprinol, Ronseal
etc. sprayers, reading what it says on the box and dithering.
I'm thinking of trotting into B&Q tomorrow and using my OAP Wednesday
pass on a pump up Cuprinol one, but it seems to say on the box something
like this is only for use with Cuprinol sprayable muckite or whatever.

I want to spray some oil-based stuff that says wash things out with
white spirit. So

1. Is the pump-up Cuprinol sprayer at all suitable or will it clog
(don't see why) or dissolve?
2. How does it compare with the rechargeable versions? I tend to think
of batteries and switches as having considerable potential for longer
term decay and binnability..
3. Would it be even better just to invest in a bigger brush?

What I want to apply to the fence is something like Cuprinol, Wickes or
Barrettine fence and shed treatment. All these seem similar, but
Cuprinol doesn't say sprayable, the other 2 do.

Also, the colour charts provided by Cuprinol and Wickes show vastly
different colours (eg Golden Brown) with the same name. Do the actual
products agree with the colour charts? On my trial piece of hidden
fence, I now have 3 samples of different products, none of which matches
the picture on the tin, and none of which satisfies my wife's desires.

That's partly why I'm thinking of a sprayer. I'm going to have a lot of
odd coloured 5 litre samples to use up later on the non-critical back
garden fences.

Just a fence sprayer comment. Over 2 years I bought 3 different models
from the sheds and they all fell apart. Cost a few bob as well. They
fell apart cos they couldn't handle the Creosote I insist on
spraying
Oddly, the cheap Lidl pump-up has now survived for three years.
I've had so much UK kit fail, that I'll now look out for German (or
Chinese) products as a matter of course .
