Did you try Thompson's Waterseal, and if so was it any good?
I got a deal on several dented cans. The treated wood looks fine but 2
years isn't much of a test.

Someone once told me that Thompson's is just paraffin dissolved in a solvent.
It hasn't performed for me very well over the years in the applications I have
used it for.

It always amazes me, the sheer number of people who don't read the
original message. Karl said he has the material, he does not want
to go buy different material. He did not directly ask, but would
seem interested in product(s) that could be applied to extend the
life of what he does have, so those recommendations are on topic.
Karl, if you can prop your framework up on some cement blocks or
similar to keep them out of the dirt and allow them to dry between
rains, it will help a lot. Use enough blocks so things don't sag
between bearing points. Paint will help, but requires recoating
and maintenance. Coating with emulsified tar isn't bad.

I read it, don't have a good direct answer, and suggested a different
free material, pallets.
Old motor oil hasn't worked for me. It doesn't soak in very far and
the wood rots from within.
In fact, several pieces of CCA-treated wood that were under my
woodpiles for several years have deteriorated. They look like hundreds
of bugs each took out a bite before dying.
If I want a small piece of wood such as a pulley wheel to last
outdoors, I boil it in paraffin wax. The heat drives out the water,
then the wax soaks in deep as it cools. That might be practical for
the feet of your beehive supports.
My wax heater is a small pot with an electric element built into the
bottom. There's a definite fire hazard using an open flame or possibly
even a hotplate.

Was that a question, Lew?
