Terrible color
Put on bottom of split rail fence post. I was under impression that it would be a faint color and would fade. It’s been 9 months and still looks terrible. It’s an ugly black against the natural cedar color. Am I supposed to paint the split rail? Ridiculous!

Thank you for reaching out, Patrick! Rust-Oleum Wolman Woodlife CopperCoat Wood Preservative will impart its color into the wood. The treated surface can be over-coated with oil-based primer, paint, or stain.

its about the only worthwhile wood treatment available in Florida its been used for wood preservative
Copper naphthenate is an active ingredient used predominantly in industrial and commercial wood preservation for non-pressure (dip/brush/spray) and pressure treatments (vacuum/full cell) to protect against fungal rot, decay, termites and wood-boring insects in unfinished wood and various fabricated wood products.

I use Wollman Copper Coat for all of my custom mailboxes. The bottom and first 24” always get a good coating of product before paint. Any time PT wood goes in the ground, cut ends need recoating!

Good Instructions for application as well as where the product should not be used (vegetable gardens, fruit shrubs and trees, etc). Too early to tell how effective the product is. Need 5 to 25 years to determine the efficacy of the product.

This stuff is potent! The case I received of four one gallon cans came with a convenient pourable spout mounted to the lid. While pouring out of a full can the flimsy bottom of the can "oil canned" causing a belch of the fluid all over my hand. Rinsed with water as directed but my finger tips were numbed for hours and my hand stunk. Wear chemical resistant gloves and eye protection when using this product. I think the bugs and rot spores are going to get a little numb as well if they get close to CopperCoat

Great product
I was able to use this product to coat/protect the bottom of my fence posts and it worked great. I used the dip method and thought it worked much better than painting it on. Highly recommend but use precaution when handling the product.

A longer life for exterior wood.
This product is one of the best wood preservatives I have ever used. I highly recommend Woodlife® for all applications where the wood may come in contact with the Earth. Unfortunately, you will have to order online as it is not a stock item and your local Home Depot.
Where I want the project to look aged I mix 50/50 Woodlife® and black latex paint. When dry it will provide a weathered gray appearance and greatly extent the life of the wood. I have also done the same using red latex to offer a weathered redwood aspect.
Application is easy using a brush, roller, airless spray or dip. Regardless I highly suggest that you use latex or rubber gloves. Cleanup is a breeze using soap and water.

Great for fence posts and wood fences.
I used to use old fir logs for fence posts untreated for a quick fence but after awhile they rotted at ground level. but I put up a fence around my garden using 7 foot lengths of Doug fir for post and braces and soaked in this stuff they not only look good and rustic but they're still holding up strong even the partly rotted brace. It's good stuff, but the smell stays with you awhile. I'd suggest wearing gloves and coveralls when using it.

They nearly tripled the price
Yes, between spring and fall of 2022 they jacked up the price for 5gal from $108 or something to $280
Come on, that's just greedy. It was a fine product but it's not worth being price gauged. Copper napthanate is an old product, not proprietary, I'd suggest finding a different company and retailer.
