Two coats should be given at least "a 4
hours apart. IT the posts are dipped
directly into the rn'eservative, the
creosote should be heated to about
the same temperature. The best re-
suits of all can be obtained by first
heating the posts in 4 bath or hot
creosote and then either transferring
them Gufckly&to bath or fcreosote at

off the heat and allowing the posts to
remain in the oil as 1t cools. BY such
a method the sapwood will become
