I was looking for some suggestions on timber pile protection at the cut off. Our spec's call for (3) coats hot creosote followed by one coat of coal tar pitch. The contractor pouring the pile caps and grade beams would like to use the creosote and substitute the tar with a 15# felt. Is this an acceptable coating?
Also, when talking with the contractor I got the feeling that hot creosote was not what he had in mind. Can the creosote be applied cold?
Thanks
