John from Millsboro, De writes

Can I use Tim-bor Professional to treat an antique settee infested with powder post beetles?

The branches of the settee have exit holes, and may be an active infestation. The largest branches are less than 2" in diameter. I have already purchased Timbor, but have learned that Boracare might provide better penetration. Would I be OK if I used Timbor, waited for a few weeks before removing any residue and then using a varnish. It will be used indoors.

Answer:

Tim-bor Professional will only penetrate ¼ inch into the wood so it would not be recommended to treat active infestations, only for prevention.  Boracare is a better option, as it will penetrate deeper and will dry clear when applied as directed.
