Default CPES

Two thoughts that may even be related:

1. one of the folks at one the marinas I dive at has done a lot of
fiberglass work as a job. He said that the Git Rot product penetrates the
wood even when wet and drives the water out. He really liked the product.

2. When I was looking at the CPES I talked with one of the chemists at
System 3. He said that their low viscosity product penetrates as well or
better and provides about 3 times the coverage (perhaps the name of the
company?) because it is not thinned with solvents. I am aware that he
wanted to sell the product but it is something to think about.

Brian, GetRot is from their MSDS sheet is just Boric Acid with some
kind of vehicle to get it into the wood. That is exactly what I make
on the stove. Cheaper too, as Boric Acid costs $3 a lb. The trouble
with Boric Acid/Glycol solutions is that they leach back out. Thus a
sealer of Linseed Oil. But the bugs like Linseed Oil so I am getting
some packets of anti fungus from the paint store to mix in. Also I
have heard that the paint store sells an emulsifyer (makes oil and
water mix) so I can put the Boric Acid into boiling water and then
introduce it into the Linseed Oil. I have more time than money you
see.
