Subject: Pietenpol-List: wood preservativeHello Brodent: good question. I've wondered about that myself. The localwood guru says no. He says you could end up with problems getting thevarnish to stick to it. How ever the EAA wood book recommends somethingcalled pentachloropenol. The book says it will take paint or varnishwell. Just make sure it's not in an oil base formula. I've not seen anypreservatives offered by ACS or Wicks. Does any one know of thispentachloropenol and have a brand name? I hate to ask these kind ofquestions at Home Depot. You always get referred to a 16 year old "associate" with some sort of Mohawk looking haircut and carrying morehardware in his face than in the hardware isle, who will just stare atyou as if you are from outer space.

Leon,I would read the labels. I do remember redoing my quality wooden chimney onmy cardboard house in Texas and I did brush on some soapy like liquid that Ibought at home depot. It was a Behr product for preserving wood and keepingthe fungus out. It was compatible with other products in their line.I ,ight have the old can in the basement. I will go look but don't holdyour breath.Chris Bobka----- Original Message -----

Leon S. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Leon, listen to your local guru. I tried it, what a mess, when Iapplied the varnish. Don't know why you are worried about fungus. But if you are,a lightcoat of epoxy should do the trick.

I would tend to listen to Mike B. I do not think it is an issue as youreally won't be parking outside anyway. Just ventilate well.Chris bobka----- Original Message -----
