AMEN, bro!

It's not the epa. PT wood has always had penetration issues. They
want to cycle the wood through the pressure chamber as fast as they
can. And they don't want to make sure the wood is properly dried
before hand. So it's almost impossible to get saturation all the way
through. Any cracks or end cuts expose what is basically untreated
wood.

I used that tree cut repair tar to coat pt wood in situations where
I'm going to bury it and it's critical that it not rot.
