Hi
I have a garden shed recently purchased. Standard shiplap diptreated. I
have already painted the exterior after it was assembled last early
autumn with creosote. As the weather now improves,Â* I'm looking to paint
the interior with cupranol in a nice bright shade. My question is how do
I prevent this very light colour seeping through the joining etc to the
exterior very dark colour... Aside from 'being careful and not loading
my brush,Â* is there any tips you may have that I'm overlooking?

Solvent based wood preservers like original Cuprinol) tend to sink in -
so usually lighter shades don't cover darker ones particularly. However
some of the modern water based wax loaded ones might since they tend to
form a coating on the surface.

So either go for a solvent based one in a light colour, or fill all the
board joints on the inside with decorators caulk or similar.
