To OP: If you're going to use this, be damned sure you read the instructions and the hazardous materials warning. Organic copper compounds are bad, and this is also flush with organics that you don't want to be breathing.

Even then, if you're going to use it inside anyway (really, who of us takes those instructions 100% seriously), *do* use gloves, use sparingly, and avoid using it on anything for prepping food.

Note that the mineral spirits are also likely to leave a residue, so after using the copper naphthenate or whatever it is you'll probably need to go over the surfaces with something else.

IMHO, if you have something you need to sterilize and there's no rush to use it, set it aside for 4 days (if it's solid and smooth surfaced) with a "don't touch" sign. The oxygen in the air will be enough.
