Protecting treated pine cuts

I’m building a deck and have been using treated pine so far I have been coatings my cuts with a protective spray on joists and bearers,now I am on to the decking boards do I need to recoat the ends of the boards I cut,The spray I use is darker green to the timber will it show through the stain or oil I use

Thankyou Harv

Re: Protecting treated pine cuts

Instructions on  Ecoseal Tanalised Timber Treatment says that it should be used for above ground cuts. Does in ground cuts needs to be protected as well? If so which product should be used?

 

 

Re: Protecting treated pine cuts

Good pick-up there @jacksumit! I'd suggest using Bondall 1L Inground Timber Protector for anything going in the ground. The aerosol product is an excellent and convenient option for above ground cuts, but the paintable bitumen will provide much better protection for cut timber in soil.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
