I intend to saturated the bottom edge with antifreeze to kill/stop the rot, then prime and paint it. My understanding is that antifreeze (ethylene or propylene glycol) is used as a carrier for rot treatments, and is not itself a rot treatment. For example, TimBor is basically boric acid with antifreeze. Cheers, Wayne |

For example, TimBor is basically boric acid with antifreeze. I'd use Tim-Bor or Bora-care depending on whether you've sanded first. (Isn't Timbor a powder?) That will not only kill the existing mold/fungus, it will inhibit future growth, too. And it's less likely to result in squirrels eating the side of your house, and then crawling into the bathroom vent to die. |

Then why are you planning to use just the antifreeze, and not the stuff that kills mold? jim Remove NOPSAM to email me. Please let me know if you have posted also. |
