The Brush Method of Creosoting 



CONDITIONS under which timber surface- 

 structures are erected often preclude the 

 possibiHty of employing more efificicnt methods 

 of creosoting and neces- 

 sitate a superficial treat- 

 ment such as the Brush 

 Method. 



Proper treatment by the 

 Brush Method most de- 

 cidedly warrants the ex- 

 pense and trouble. There 

 are many cases on record 

 where, under favorable 

 conditions, timber socreo- 

 soted showed an increase in life, resulting in an 

 annual saving of 15 per cent, and upwards 

 The two illustrations herewith show two cases 

 where the investment in the Brush Treatment 

 has paid large dividends. 



The Brush Method consists of applying two 

 coats of Carbosota Creosote Oil, heated to about 



TnitU In coal-i/ard of copper mine, porthnt of which uxra IrtaUd hu

150° F., to all parts of the timber where it will 

 come in contact with the ground, masonry or 

 with other timber. A sufficient interval should 

 elapse between the two 

 applications to permit of 

 thorough drying of the 

 first. 



Timber to be treated 

 should be completely 

 framed, bored and cut to 

 size before treatment. 

 Green wood cannot be ef- 

 fectively creosoted by 

 non-pressure processes. It 

 should be air-dry. In regions of moist, warm 

 climate wood of some species may start to decay 

 before it can be air-dried. Exception should be made in 

 such cases, and treatment modified accordingly. For 

 liberal treatment approximately one gallon of creosote 

 is required for each 150 to 200 square feet of surface. 

 Carbosota Creosote Oil is a pure coal-tar creosote 

 especially developed for non-pressure treatments. It is 

 used by most of the important consumers for 

 Brush Treatments. It is the recognized stand- 

 ard. 



Carbosota is a Barrett product, which is a su- 

 perlative recommendation.
