Since I couldn't find brown preservative/sealer for pressure treated
wood, I had to go to regular deck stain to seal all my cut ends. I
found out that it was illegal to make my own preservative paint, too.
Once the makers of Termin-8 stopped making it, there was no other
legal method of preserving the poorly PT wood any more. ****ing
EcoNazis, I swear.


Larry! There's a _certain_degree_ of "civil disobediance" allowed when
doing your own work! Even if it's inspected, I'm betting that no local
building inspector would ever ask to see the actual empty can from which
edge-sealer came.

Hmm, you mean it would be worth the $50k (if I got caught) just to
seal the edge so the customer's fence or deck lasts a bit longer?
Riiiiiiight.

Hell, I was fined $500 a few years ago just for having the words
"minor landscaping" on my website. Why take chances when the deck
stain works nearly as well?

The color in Behr (Homey's Despot) solid color stain is SC-110
Chestnut, BTW. It matches the local PT wood quite well.
