With any oil based coating, it is best to wait seven days for all the solvents to evaporate/cure. And as Chas said, oak and wire wool are not a good combination.

Peter - four weeks ago (I kid you not, after being on this forum since 2013) I found your youtube channel. The videos are very informative and nicely presented - best wishes.

@ "Isn't it the wrong time of year to be painting outside ?" Pliolite Masonry paint can be applied down to minus 5 degrees Centigrade and is shower proof in 20 minutes. http://www.johnstonestrade.com/products ... nry-finish

Use an oil based product which will soak in. If you use a water based product you will eventually regret it. Mangers Creotec is good if you can't get proper creosote or don't want to use it.

Bedec Multi Surface paint
