Re: [bolger] Digest Number 2712
Arsenic is no longer allowed in pressure-treated lumber. The new treatment
is a copper salt [bottom paint]. You are not even allowed to burn this stuff
because of toxicity! Besides, you can't find a straight sheet of treated
ply. The copper salt also requires porcelain coated screws.

If it is similar to green pressure treated dimension lumber for ground
contact the "green" is arsenic to poison termites. If it is pressure treated with
the arsenic I doubt if it would accept epoxy as the grain is full already.
Also I don't know if I want to sail in an arsenic loaded boat.

If it is similar to green pressure treated dimension lumber for ground
contact the "green" is arsenic to poison termites. If it is pressure treated with
the arsenic I doubt if it would accept epoxy as the grain is full already.
Also I don't know if I want to sail in an arsenic loaded boat.
