Questions & Answers
Can this product be used on a wood girder beam in the crawl space of a pier and beam home?
Happy to help, Donald! Rust-Oleum Wolman Copper Coat Wood Preservative is suitable for exterior use only. The product will not properly cure and can cause lingering odors if used in interior or enclosed spaces. If the crawl space is enclosed, we do not recommend this product for use on any beams inside of it. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
Can this be used for interior wood as long as it is allowed to properly dry first? Also, how long does it take for end cuts to fully dry? Thanks in advance.
We appreciate your interest, John; however, Rust-Oleum Wolman Woodlife CopperCoat Wood Preservative is for exterior use only. Even with curing, we cannot recommend it for interior use. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

I applied latex solid stain over this coppercoat, after 3 days of baking sun. It was sanded cedar siding. Will I see any issues with this? The coppercoat seems completely dry.
Happy to clear things up, Dean! Rust-Oleum Woodlife CopperCoat Wood Preservative can be topcoated with an oil-based solid stain after 24 hours; the surface would need to weather for at least 30 days before being compatible with a water-based solid stain. The latex stain may not properly adhere if applied too soon. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
Would this work well on railroad ties that are part of a retaining wall or should I buy creocote?
Happy to help! Rust-Oleum Wolman Woodlife CopperCoat Wood Preservative can be used on untreated or pressure-treated wood in below ground, ground contact, fresh water contact or above ground installations. Either product could be used on retaining walls, but CreoCoat will have a more pigmented black finish.

Customers say that the CopperCoat wood preservative is easy to apply and provides good coverage, making it a reliable choice for protecting wood from rot and insect damage. Many appreciate its effectiveness, especially for outdoor applications, although the strong odor and the need for proper safety precautions are common points of concern. While some users express uncertainty about long-term performance, the overall sentiment is positive, with many planning to repurchase for future projects.
