Shingle oil,

Ugly dog: I don't understand , position trailer on class 5 ? Most of the yard is asphalt with one gravel area

Thanks , it's been 90 and dry so it will soak in good , I'll try the mop
 
I used a mixed up a batch of motor oil and diesel for the bed (1" plywood) of my Toyota \GMC (has a 56 GMC bed) and applied 2 or 3 applications, letting each soak in. Then I let it dry a day and allied several coats of...
Black walnut stain mixed in with an old can of varithane sealer.
It took a few days to finally dry but I now abuse it like the garbage scow I use it for.
Leaves, garbage, whatever, it is still holding up well. Well enough I had to drill a couple drain holes to let it drain...
 
From what I've found today it is made to preserve wood
 
People spray it on shingles @5yr intervals here on the coast.
Turns black over time and washes off with a small pressure washer.
Not exactly long term or maintenance free.
 
I oiled my shingles with shingle oil and they all just slid off the house.
Next time I think I will use shingle grease.
I wonder if those people who have tin roofs oil them???

Personally have never heard of shingle oil.

It's a third cousin of snake oil, twice removed. Most wooden shingles are cedar or redwood and their lifespan is based on how thick they are, not what's applied to extend their life.
 
Natural oils are depleted after seasons in wood , this stuff should help shed water ,prevent rot
I'm hoping.
 
I don't have to worry about this down here in the south. I can't afford a cedar shingle roof much less a composition shingle roof!
