- When do I put PeneTreat on?
PeneTreat is recommended to be applied before applying any exterior finish. If a sapstain control was applied first, check product Specification sheet answering. PeneTreat can be applied at any time on logs or lumber as long as there is not an existing coating on them. PeneTreat can be applied one log at a time or after the structure has been erected. If a wood conditioner is being applied at the same time, apply PeneTreat first. PeneTreat can be applied using a garden sprayer with a fan tip.
- Is PeneTreat hazardous to humans?
No, PeneTreat is not hazardous.

- I have some rotted logs; what do I do?
There are several treatments for rotted logs. For prevention of further rot, use the Impel Rod or the CobraRod. This is a borate based rod that comes in two sizes. The Rod size will depend on the diameter of the log for equal diffusion. When the moisture content of the wood is 20% or higher, Rods will activate and diffuse preservatives into the wood preventing rot and decay from starting. On average, one Rod will diffuse one cubic foot.
PeneTreat, as mentioned earlier, Liquid Wood and/or WoodEpox can be used. Liquid Wood is just that; liquid. When brushed on or poured into the wood, it will harden and strengthen the wood. WoodEpox is an epoxy in paste form that can be used to mold the rotted space to a "new" log. WoodEpox can be tinted. (Tinting to match the stain color is recommended before applying a finish; you only need to tint the surface layer.) Restoration Tips.
