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 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. |
