Sounds like I was imagining this. The Oil based copper is Copper Naphthalene
used for painting wood products. I don't know for sure what cupric chloride
would be used for, unless it could be mixed for paint color.



Cupric chloride is also used as a pesticide in a mix with a penetrating oil
on wood posts that are buried in the ground. It keep the termites out of the
wood and acts as a preservative. They sell it already mixed allot of the
time but I am sure that you could buy the powder to mix your own. It doesn't
seem to hurt plants but it sure keeps the insects out of my posts.
