Making Wood Preservative 1I make my own wood preservative. I could run out and purchase a similar preservative for about $95 a gallon or I can spend about $10 and make my own. I make a concentrate that I can store and when desired mix with equal parts of water use in a garden sprayer on my logs.

My ingredients for a home-brew wood preservative include Borax, Boric Acid and Propylene Glycol.
