Tanalised stickers

[TMJ]

I have found a supply of used softwood stickers. They have been tanalised as used for exterior timbers. Does anyone use them regularly? Is there much chance of these staining planks (ultimately to be used for flooring when moulded)?????Cheers

It would drive me nuts too! I assume you have a pallet load at a time?? What sort of quantity are Helmdon happy to send on a pallet? Tom

Sorry to jump in, and excuse my ignorance, but can someone enlighten me as to what on earth "stickers" are...

They are small wooden battens that are placed between planks during the drying process to enable air to circulate all around the planks.

Do they have to be wood?

Have wondered about using blue water pipe, anyone tried this, any thoughts?

P.S.

Used a couple of bits of tanalised recently to support a piece of sycamore for a couple of days and had to sand out the green stains.

Hmmm this is what i am afraid of. The planks will be planed down into boards so a bit of green is ok on the surface but if it penetrates deeper i am in trouble....

Might have to use these stickers for timber that ultimately will be painted/covered.
