| 928.1 | Try tack shop | STEREO::JENKINS | | Tue Apr 25 1989 16:02 | 8 |
| Most tack shops carry a gallon preparation used the same as creosote.
I don't believe it works as well but it might be worth a try. Just
ask your tack shop. I also add red pepper to it as well and just
keep it stirred up as the pepper settles to the bottom.
Happy painting!!

| 928.2 | Not for the whole barn | FENNEL::HEWSON | | Wed Apr 26 1989 14:08 | 9 |
| I have used the stuff that .1 mentioned from the tack shops. It
works for keeping horses from chewing, but it smells and has the
consistency of driveway sealer. I do not think that it would be
good for painting a whole barn. I would use regular stain for the
whole barn and then the "goop" for places where the horses chew.
It's hard to keep a farm without creosote.

| 928.3 | Try Cuprinol | WAV14::BOE | Voice of the Turtle | Thu Apr 27 1989 09:24 | 13 |
| Re: .0
Like you, I went in search of creosote and found that it had been
off the market since I had used it last. I was told that New
Hampshire still sold it, and took a ride up there (about an hour).
They don't.
Cuprinol has a few products with the functionality of creosote and,
in my case, they have one type that is also the color of creosote.
It's a preservative, a water repellant, and has an almost pleasant
odor, reminicent of the twine used in fishing nets.

| RE .3
I was under the impression that cuprinol could be harmful to animals
if they chewed it, is that true?

| 928.5 | one idea....... | ISLNDS::SOBEK | | Thu Apr 27 1989 12:29 | 16 |
| A well-know Morgan breeder recommended Carbolineum (sp) in an article
I read several years ago. At the time the only place I could find
it was the tack shop in Andover. I bought them out at the time.
Last year I found it at UCF in Littleton and State Line Tack in
NH. Although irritating to my (sensative) skin, I found it nowhere
near as caustic as creosote and it completely discouraged the chewing
habits of the 'barn eating' Morgan I had at the time.
I find it is easier and less expensive to use Olympic stain on the
barn and fencing ...and just go over the 'inviting surfaces' with
the carbolineum. I've had good luck and no complaints with it.
...Seems to me I remember seeing ads in _The Western Horseman_ a
few years ago too. I don't know if it would be any cheaper to buy
it direct.....

| 928.7 | try Agway | WMOIS::J_BENNETT | constants aren't; variables won't | Tue May 02 1989 13:08 | 8 |

Agway in Peterborough NH sells Carbolineum, a neighbor with Arab-termite
crosses highly recommends it.
Also, for very small areas (favorite chew spots) I have a magazine that
suggests rubbing a bar of soap on the area to discourage chewing. I have
tried Chew-stop and nearly passed out from the fumes - and it didn't last
very long.
