Hi, what did you use and did it work? I’ve got the same issue going on and need to seal the wood to stop the creosote weeping. Any advice would be great. TIA

Rzw, The thread you dug up was from 2010. The OP hasn't been back since. I've split your post and started you a new thread.

Otherwise depending on what it is perhaps overboard.
