Mark from Portland, Oregon writes

What volume of Bora-Care is recommended to inject into rotten wood?

I will be injecting Bora-Care into rotten wood using 1/4in diameter x 5in deep holes. How much Bora-Care should I add in each hole? The rotten wood is the floor joists in a cabin in a wet forest. I cannot see the wood I am injecting into.

Answer:

If you are needing to spot treat wood with a borate product, then it would be better to use the ready-to-use formulation of Boracare called Jecta. Jecta is a gel-like product in a tube that does not require mixing. Keep in mind that if the integrity of the wood you are treating is already compromised, then a borate product will not recover the wood or make up for lost integrity of the wood. If you have wood that is compromised, then it is best to replace the wood after correcting the moisture issue.
