Re: [bolger] pressure treated lumber
I have to disagree here, though I have no doccumentation. I did run across a
post from a fella who worked in this industry, and lamented that both his
cancer and those of his fellow workers could have been prevented. Guys, mask
up and avoid the dust on your skin when working with treated lumber of any
form of bottom paint.

Now, of course, there are all kinds of things that release formaldehyde,
that are sometimes used in boats--manufactured woods, glues, insulation.
And in a fire, insulation and these woods will gas you up pretty good.
But the water soluble heavy metal salts in the CCA treatment, I don't
think pose much of a gas problem.

safe to touch, once dry.
Now, of course, there are all kinds of things that release formaldehyde,
that are sometimes used in boats--manufactured woods, glues, insulation.
And in a fire, insulation and these woods will gas you up pretty good.
But the water soluble heavy metal salts in the CCA treatment, I don't
think pose much of a gas problem.
no one has yet brought up the human danger of the toxic nature of the gases
that sublimate from pressure treated wood, and collect, especially in an area
of limited ventilation.

Use it all the time, love it. Usualy a soft pine,
easy to work, epoxy sticks good.
Just wish they made pressure treated marine
plywood.... <grin>
