See how bad I get beat up on this one.
It was 40 degrees today.
I figured… let’s play around with the saws and some old treated lumber.
This is what happened.
After several goofs a 2x12” got thrown into the mix.
The tongue and groves are to be turned to shed. 2x6’go to bottom.
These have been laying around outside since July.
Figure on clamping and letting lay around wood heater in basement a few weeks see if any twisty comes around.,. Or splits or cracks.
I know as a general rule epoxy and treated don’t play well together.
Also stainless is said to chemically not mix well with treated. However I have used stainless in decks and no problems as of yet.
This is an old scrap boat. I’m just killing time during the cold.
One of those let’s see how this turns out.
I don’t normally do treated.
But if dry enough it should outlast me…
again.
No real guarantees that this will make it to the install.
Depends on several things and how the epoxy actually does.
I have seen epoxy take pretty good hold with good prep and time to really really dry out.(the wood)
