Wood treatment stuff that soaks in and sets and makes it waterproof.

Best to wait until July when the sun might shine and dry everything out

Yup - July is going to be a stunner - can't be much worse than flaming June.

Oh Good. My Solo is nearing Restoration Max.

I found out what the stuff is I was referring to in my first post in this thread. It is:

"Burgess Marine Woodsealer"

"Protects all your valuable woodwork from rain, salt water and harmful sunlight"

Sounds good to me!

As said earlier, 'Git-Rot' is the stuff you are looking for. However, as also said, it is not designed for the purpose you are looking for.

I used that for my clinker dinghy interior. It doesn't match your description of being "A bit like creosote really". Possibly the can hadn't been shaken enough before use and left a heavy residue.
It just seals the wood.

Weird. Doesn't feel like there's any residue in the bottle - and what is in there definitely looks and feels a lot like creosote. It is a very old bottle - maybe it's evolved into something new.

Good to know that I sometimes manage a correct 1st guess!

About to use some to seal a garden bench as it happens.
