- We used a 50/50 mix of used waste oil and diesel to stain the wood siding on the garage with some very nice results. this was a total of less than $20 to do a full coverage with some left over material.

as a retired paint gun slinger , I would suggest not letting up on the trigger until your out of material , the stop start will leave some spot heaver in product transfer , I know that you are not shooting auto paint , but it is best practice , as a mentor once told me "do the long walk "
Yeah instead of chop chop painting is what the guy that taught me called it
it takes some getting used too , @@BRWfilms
I thought you only did the long walk on candy paint! I am not a painter but my uncle was for years and that's the only time I saw him do it! Good to know
@@JuarezDerrick in my case I painted structural steel so I was painting things that were narrow and often 40 or more feet long so we would walk down the beam collum angle channel ect then turn and go the other way for next pass until it was completely painted on that side. In the case of a wall I think walking down it would work best. If you were painting a flat wall you may go up and down some as well or prefer up and down but I still may walk down it end to end my self
@@JuarezDerrick even blending base , and if you are using good clear , it will lay down like candy
I think it turned out great. I use straight used oil on my trailer boards and it holds up very well.
I built a small barn to milk the cow and store hay. The siding is fence pickets. I used a 50:50 mix applied with a pump up sprayer. It looks fantastic! No smell, dry to the touch and way cheaper than stain. Old farmers have used the 50:50 mix for many years to coat their fence posts. The posts last decades as opposed to setting them uncoated and rotting at ground level in five years.
i've been saving my used oil for a few years with this sort of thing in mind on rough cut white pine.
Looks great. If you want to save time and money, you can use straight oil and a roller. With a long handle you won't even need a ladder.
Add coffee grounds to darken 👍
A friend also mentioned to me tonight that he’s used this trick and added trans fluid to a cedar home. To keep the red tint to the wood.
I done that method for trailer decks. It seems to work pretty good.
@@MikeOrazzi when I started searching for this type of stuff that’s what I kept seeing a lot of people doing as well,
How many PSI were you using to spray the oil/fuel mixture? @@KyNoPrep
Looks great, i would like to see a follow up say a year down the road to see how it holds up as a wood protectant.
I definitely will be following up in about 6 months as well as a year.
This is exactly what I was looking for
I like it! More economical than paint & less temperature sensitive.
Exactly, the plan here obviously was to be as economical as possible.
My coworker said in Vietnam they would paint the wood with used motor oil to keep the termite bugs out kills everything. We both worked automotive so we had access to used motor oil. I tried it on my 25 year old wood fence. Termite does not care about used motor oil on wood. It did stain the termite infested wood. I applied it with a paint brush
Yeah, it probably only works on fresher, non 25yr old termite infested wood. I'm thinking your wood was too far gone.
That’s awesome I didn’t know this could be done looks great!
I didn’t myself till a few days ago then I started looking into it on TH-cam and found a lot of people doing it.
Just use a Hudson sprayer. You don't need to figure up that huge air compressor and drag around a hose. You can spray all day with a Hudson sprayer without refilling. Best, you don't even need to buy one - use the one you already own.
use a roller, weed sprayer. Also you can use Turpentine, or linseed oil to cut the motor oil. Use it on you fence, and your trailer deck too.
I'd say this (HF spray gun)is a great idea to undercoat a vehicle frame & underside to preserve & prevent rust too. Cheaper than FluidFilm & sprayer setup.
I bet it would work just fine. May do that one day with the car trailer just for fun.
I bought one of those paint guns 20 years ago from hf and its worked awesome. Now im not a pro thats using it everyday so i dont need a sata but for the 9 bucks i paid for it was worth it.
20 years out of anything shows you can definitely take care of your stuff. That’s impressive
@@KyNoPrep I take care of all my shit. Most of my tools and boxes are snapon,matco and Cornwell but stuff that I don't use everyday like a spray gun I go to hf. They have nice stuff nowadays with the icon line and Daytona. I like there Jack's and bought a whole shitload of their icon wrenches and sockets and pullers for my service truck.theyre doing awesome so far and if they get stolen I'm not gonna have a heart attack. Lol
@@Chevydude1982 yea it would kill me to spend a bunch of money on tool for a truck and it get broke into.
Very nice. I did my trailer deck with 20% diesel and used a mop. Soaks in nicely but doesn't get much darker.
Yes more is great keep them coming!! I enjoy watching how to save money 💰
I’m all about trying to save a few bucks everywhere I can.
Do it every year in the summer when it's good and hot. Then it will be thinner and soak in better
That’s my plan, I wanted to wait about 6 months and hit it again.
Diesel & motor oil? Cool, my dad would mix roofing tar & diesel which has a darker finish but I think I like this finish better.👍
I’d definitely say that gave off a darker look for sure. I bet it last forever though. Lol
This is what I’ll use on my fence. Looks great man!
Thank you, and yes I’m pretty excited about how it turned out.
@@KyNoPrepshake some fine chalk in it and you have "white wash". Very durable and cheap. Still shows a bit of grain.
@@sasquatchrosefarts never heard of that. I like the idea tho.
I thought about doing this, I have seen people do it with just a garden sprayer from the hardware store.
I figured for basically the same price this would be easier and it worked so good. Lol
Used same gun for years spraying finishes on Corporate Aircraft interiors (BIG $) until EPA stuck their nose in the door.
This also works great on wood trailer decks.
I bet it would for sure. Something that sees a lot of road salt and nasty rain would definitely benefit from this.
Pump sprayer and a good thick roller with extension pole. 👌
It does very good on treated fencing. I’ve found plenty of info on people doing it on pretreated lumber and it works out just as well.
This explains why I was sitting in a hunting blind and could only smell what I thought was used motor oil. It was used motor oil. Nice job.
🤣
Looking good if you put some rusty nails in your oil it would give you a reder look
A friend of mine said he done this and used trans fluid.
Bucket and a roller screen and a long nap roller, mop it on.
Straight oil is a better preservative and will fade within a season.
Nice job, good protection!
Thank you, I plan on doing a follow up video very soon when I finish the shiplap on the backside and stain it.
The bad part is it will look good for a few weeks/months then collect a lot of dirt and look dirty. The good news is that it'll protect a long time.
So far so good. Hopefully that isn’t the case.
If it sees many hot days and dust, yeah. Just powerwash it off in that case and do it again. Only drawback is any heavy metals that might dissolve into the ground.
Used same gun to paint wheels on farm tractor worked great
Can’t beat it for the price.
WOW that looks great!
Thank you!
Nothing like using a flammable mixture on wood.
Once it’s evaporated it’s no worse than the wood itself.
Diesel and oil (even when liquid) are both listed the same as wood as far as combustion.
Great job!!!
Thank you!
Looks great, be interesting to see how long the wood lasts, maybe forever!
Watched other videos and people are saying to spray the wood as you would with normal sealer at least once a year. And it’ll last forever.
@@KyNoPrep Fantastic, well worth an annual respray.
Just no smoking 🔥 lol😅
I said the same thing. But apparently it drys into the wood and evaporates quickly
I was worried it would be flammable. Sounds great it is not after drying. @@KyNoPrep
Shultz gun works hell of alot better and last people who spray bed liners even prefer a shultz gun over a spray gun they get more even with the thick material
That's made for something way thicker than oil, and will put it on like undercoating
Years ago, I used reclaimed lumber that was already 40 years old that was used for a carport roof. Once I turned the
lumber into steps and a stoop for an entrance, I then used old motor oil to protect it from burrowing insects and to
preserve any life that the wood could provide. First off, I used the lumber and corrugated aluminum for skirting on
the backside of my Mom's mobile home surely because she ran out of funds to finish her project. Once the backside
was finished, I then utilized the remaining lumber to construct steps and a platform with decking from planks and
purposely run the decking diagonally to insure sufficient stability and strength. The stoop, stairs and decking was
absolutely strong enough such as it could ever be. Once that project was nearly complete, the heavy rains were
supposed to come and so the oil treatment came forth just in the nick of time, because I didn't want my efforts
of construction to be in vain! Even the underpinning supports that support the aluminum panels were also coated
and so here it is some 30 years later now and the project did hold up well for that backside of the trailer, although
now, it's called start over and do it again because of the eventual rotting that took place at the very base of the
underpinning structural lumber. It's all because of the lateral base sitting on concrete. Coating with a brush is very
cumbersome since I did not own a compressor and spray gun, but hey, the project went into high gear and my Mom
was well pleased that it didn't hardly cost her a thing, other than electricity to run my circular saw! I did have to go
ahead and purchase 2- 4"x4"x 8' and about 200 deck screws and about 8 lbs of nails to getter done on my own but
I know that I was all in on this project. My Son even pitched in for about 3 hours worth to give me a hand and it was
all good, every last bit of it and it was done still at a safety standard as well!!
Looks great and should protect very well. I'm looking forward to seeing this in a year. Also, I wonder if you did this at 80 degrees instead of 40 degrees, could you cut the diesel down to about 25% instead of 50%? Oil thins out a lot as it warms up.
You probably could but it gets lighter colored as you thin it down. And I feel like it would soak in faster as it gets warmer outside.
@@KyNoPrep I meant using about 75% oil, 25% diesel to intentionally make it darker (and waste less diesel). Do you think it would dry too fast at summer temperatures before it could soak in as deep?
@@elektro3000 sorry I miss read that. I believe it would work out just fine.
Great job.
Looks good! From experience you will want to hit it again come August as the wood will suck it up in the heat and then be good for years after that. I usually use a paint roller and bucket but each to his own..I just don't like the vapor exposure.
I agree with the vapors. I figured after 6 months I’d probably want to spray it again.
Looks good!
I myself have thought about doing this
You can ad ATF for a different color.
That’s what a friend mentioned to me about cedar homes. I didn’t think about it till he mentioned it to me.
Faster to roll on with a 2 ft roller ?? Looks good though
I plan on doing the rest of my house in the ship lap eventually. We may test out the theory of the roller being faster.
Question won’t this make it more flammable
Not any more than just normal stain would be.
I thought about that too I'd be care what application you use this for. Not the metalworking shop!
looks good
Thank you!!!
I love to find uses for used oil, edp since I have so much of it, but the thing is, it really smells bad, and it stays slick and oily and will stain your clothes if you get up against it.
So far this hasn’t had any smell past the first day I put it on. And it’s dry to the touch now.
It soaks into the wood but it does not dry.
It 100% dries, I was talking today to my dad about how I should spray it again since it’s so dry and starting to fade again.
Wow. I had no idea this could be done. It's safe, right? It makes me think if there was a fire, your house would be gone in 3.5 seconds...
Wood burns regardless. But before I done this I watched a video and it showed there’s no difference in the burn rate of treated or untreated wood.
That would won't split from not being gapped? Is it t&g? Looks good. I've never seen this done 👍
It’s ship lap, pretty close to the same thing as tongue and groove. I was told it doesn’t need gapped. But through the years we will see.
Good job god bless
Thank you and god bless!
Can you do this when it’s cold?
Absolutely, that day it was in the mid 30°s.
I spray old used hydraulic oil on my privacy fence, shed and deck, the rain water rolls right off.
How does the color look with hydraulic fluid only?
Yeah so does grandma and toddlers lol
@@KyNoPrep It kind of looks like linseed oil got sprayed on it.
@@noeaguinaga4018 After a few days the oil soaks into the wood and it feels dry to the touch.
@@kblopp after I done this someone told me about linseed oil, but for the price difference I can’t complain lol
My very first thought was, will diesel not evaporate? If so, will that matter?
The fumes from the fuel and oil does evaporate
I sprayed my wood shed with a pump up sprayer like you spray weed killer. it works good with just oil
i shot the bottom of my truck with oil last year with that gun
I need to do that with my car trailer. Lol
Hmmm, I garden sprayed a fence once with used oil/diesel and that fence stunk for three years.
That’s really weird. This didn’t have a smell at all after a day or so.
Yea I wonder if the new synthetic oils don’t have such a stink. I might try it again, this was several years ago.
Yours looks good.
Looks great. What air pressure did you use? Thanks
I can’t remember but I feel like close to 30psi
just use what ever pressure puts it on nice no less no more
What about coating boards before installation, so the contact points also are protected
It’s a good idea. If you had the time to do that. I didn’t really think about it till after I had started on mine.
@KyNoPrep I also tend do things this way. Fascia boards , never once have I pre painted. Even though it would be alot easier in the end
how long do you expect this to last ? great idea.
From what I’ve been seeing people say to spray it at least once a year. Which is the same as they say to do with any of the store bought products.
I drive a truck and most diesel I see turns black after a little while. Will that turn black or darker as well?
The used oil looked almost completely black before it was mixed.
What air compressor do you have?
It’s a central pneumatic 8 gallon I believe. Probably 1/3hp or so.
Nice job. How long do you think that will preserve the wood?
Hopefully if we take care of it a long time. I plan to spray it occasionally to keep on top of it.
Do you think once a year respray? @@KyNoPrep
@@Random_DIYthat’s what I plan to do. But once it get to about the 6 month mark I want to hit it again.
Be goo d for vehicle frames,
I was actually thinking about my car trailer the other day and spraying under it.
@@KyNoPrep i saw that chainsaw oil "barrel" works good. Thanks for your vids. From north Aurora Illinois
Used oil causes cancer.
That's a serious drawback and the best reason not to do this.
Seems like a paint roller would be faster
I done this in just under a hour. Don’t think it would have been much faster if I did it with a roller. Easier for sure tho.
No way, I’m a painter, this is definitely waaaaay faster than rolling. Usually with spraying what takes up all the time is taping stuff off. But once any taping is done spraying goes really fast.
@@wyattsdad8561definitely a lot easier and funner to spray it too. Lol
@@KyNoPrep next time ya spray try flipping your wrist out at your stopping points. And when you start have your wrist flipped out and pull the trigger while making your pass. It helps with stop/start marks. Although I didn’t really notice anything when I saw it drying. But if you ever do see that try what I suggested.
@@wyattsdad8561 open to all pointers. Thank you.
This is hilarious
And it worked lol
Does the smell go away after a while. I would like to do a deck but just curious if the smell will go away after a few months
@@travispoppler8023 there was no smell the next day.
@@KyNoPrep awesome thanks for the reply
How do keep that shit from leeching into the ground water
It soaks into the wood. It repels the water away from it. And if you’re very easy when spraying there will be little to none that gets on the ground.
That’s not correct. Stupid
@@Dana-ov7fohe is correct, stupid. VERY little will soak into the ground. Your car leaks way more oil than you think; on the roads, in parking lots, etc. Then when it rains, all that oil goes into the water table, streams, ground. What he is doing is extremely minimal compared what vehicles are doing.
You’re creating a fire trap using used oil. Very flammable. Also oil is considered a carcinogen so getting cancer should be a concern. Very stupid of you to
Used oil is not flammable. If it was your engine would catch fire from the heat it produces.
@@13ghosts50 you have to be kidding. I guess your as stupid as the one applying it to the building
Yeah this is really dumb to save $50 a wall on a proper stain.
You get a visit from DEP yet? ....you might wanna take this down...
The cancer visit will be a while...PUT ON A F#$%IN MASK!
...2nd thought...don't worry bout the Cancer...fire will get you first.....jus sayin'
Mr. Negative over here.
If your going to do something this stupid at least wear the proper safety gear
