Hi all after you plank you timber what do you spray it with to stop it growing mould what is it called and where do I get it ? Cheers lee

I get a little plant spray/mister put a quater of bleach in and the rest water. Spray alover the wood with it.

 

You need to do it as soon as you see signs of mold because the mold stain the wood very quickly.

[yewhunter18]

So just regular bleach and water mix ?

YOu need to be addressing your drying/ storage methods if this is a regular occurence though. I have only experienced it once with sycamore under a leak in the roof. Make sure you brush off all sawdust before you stick the timber too.

I thought the thing to use was Borax, I wouldn't know how though, sorry.

Wykabor Powder / Wykabor Range / Timber Treatments / Services / Wykamol Group / Specialist products for the building and preservation industries.

 

Superb stuff - no issues will mould growth at all with this.

 

Cannot recommend it enough.

Cheers Jonathan how many liters do you get out of 5kg of it cheers lee

[Big J]

Oh loads and loads. It costs me about £10-20 per kiln fill, which is the best part of 300 cubic foot.

 

You can have all the airflow you like, but certain timbers will always have a certain degree of mould. Anti fungal treatments are superb in eliminating this, and massively improve presentation to customers.
