Re: CCA
I have used CCA treated timber from time to time when nothing else
was available.
It has taken epoxy and epoxy glue with no obvious problems.
When I was working on building sites, handling CCA treated timber
brought painful cracks in my fingers after a while, so it's second
choice! A mate of mine leaned over to look in a vat when he worked
at a CCA treatment plant, was splashed on the forehead, and now has
a hole in his head to prove it.

David,
Don't let the advertising hype get to you.......build the AS-29 :-)
Besides,the two settees in the JC are just too short for anyone to
sleep on.Where will you put the kids? In the cockpit?....hey
wait...that may not be a bad place for them !
Also,the AS-29 has had some post design development work done on it
to improve the problem of wave slap under the nose, and a ballast
option consisting of a steel plate on the bottom.Great protection for
sailing in tidal zones.And that kind of sailing can get a bit dicey
with that big daggerboard on the JC.
Now,how about a picture or two of your current catboat? Enquiring
minds want to see :-)
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan,
Wow. That is informative.
I learned that if you crush up some tetracylclene and add it to your
bottom paint, it greatly improves its effectiveness. Larger
quantities of tetracyclene can be purchased at pet supply stores.

David;
Propylene glycol is a very good anti fungal treatment. It works as well as its cousin ethylene glycol without the toxicity problems. As a wood preservative PG does an excellent job, but for one factor. It leaches out quickly when submersed in water.
You can circumvent the loss of PG in your wood if you seal it with epoxy. PG does not appear to inhibit the wood epoxy bond as long as you don't try to bond wet material.
The reference to PG as a cure for athlete's foot came from Dave Carnell. I can attest to it's effectiveness on fungal dermatitis. My wife used it to treat Penau (a rare Malaysian skin fungus). Propylene glycol is the recomended treatment for fungal dermatitis in parts of the world where medicine is practiced for reasons other than profit.

propolene glycol (sp?) (antifreeze) has been mentioned as a good
preservative to use in place of CCA. I think I read about it in
Michalak's column. Someone used it to cure athlete's foot (what the
h...it's a fungus)! I will try it on my next craft. Most probably
June Bug. But, Jessie Cooper is pulling at me strongly.

CCA will soon be outlawed. That arsenate is not good
for your kids or anything else that lives. That is why
it kills fungi and bugs. Remember not to store your
kids toys under a CCA deck their toys become coated
with arsenate from the rains water run off. Life is
hard when you build your boat from biodegradable wood.
You want to save the boat but not kill yourself or
family.
I remember using a very good bedding compound and a
chemist friend of mine looks at the label and says, "
this has some of the same chemicals as agent orange."

Chromated Copper Arsenate (I think)
It's pressure treated lumber from Home Depot. You know, the greenish
stuff that is used for decks and playgrounds, etc.

Dear Group,
Does CCA take paint? Will it absorb epoxy or is that simply redundant?
Tom
Does CCA take paint? Will it absorb epoxy or is that simply redundant?
