    Hi guys, well I got the job at Lifetime Wood Treatment and got an email from this guy in Milwaukee. I thought you might be interested in his product.

    Hi Hivemaker and all, I have successfully used the product in Atlantic Canada where it is available Nationally in all of the local Home Hardware stores and others. I was a non-believer until I researched it. It is widely used in Canada and I was surprised how many neighbours and guys I knew...

    As I've said earlier in this thread, The Lifetime wood treatment product is non-toxic even when still wet and it will protect from mould and fungus, you only need to apply it once and you can use the hive straight away.

    The propylene glycol is the solvent in the product and will emit VOC. It is really just a cosmetic stain with 5 year Colour protection, Not Wood Protection ! It does have some waxes in it to initially repel water. See the recent banter on the thread paint\stain\varnish whatever

    Hivemaker, I believe that if the Lifetime product is applied before the blue stain takes hold, it will protect it from the blue stain fungus. Once it has stained, it is stained ! As far as use in USA/Canada - check out the link below I just found, with the comment pasted underneath. Gary...

    John, You're absolutely right about the sealing products "sealing" the moisture underneath them, then pealing and the rot setting in. Creosote ? Oil mix ! Nearly all of the Cuprinol products (although adequately treating the timber) should not be used near animals, plants, wildlife or water...

    Hi Hivemaker, My job application is going in Monday and this forum will be in my C.V. ! I'm a convert ! If you look on their site you will see they tell you to soak fenceposts for 2 days to ensure deep penetration through the sapwood to the heartwood. Tanalith e (pressure treatment) has...

    O.K. John, You are absolutely right. Oak is very high in tannic acid and I am told that the Lifetime product should be diluted considerably if using it on Oak. What wood treatment do you use ?

    Hi John, After being introduced to the Lifetime product in Canada, I researched it at length. First it would not be used by the Canadian government departments if it did not work. I found that it is made from old formulas of plant extracts and minerals. They work with the tanic acid within...

    Hi Beebreeder, The Cuprinol garden shades you used is basicly a paint with no protection from mould, wood-rot, decay or fungus. The Sadolin product is more of a paint than stain with two chemicals. One is a fungicide the other a herbicide. Both chemicals have acute toxicity and one is...

    Hi Mike, You can get it from [email protected] I'm sure they will send it to you in France. Trev.

    Most wood treatments have some petro-chemical or solvent content and emit VOC greenhouse gases. Most also have some very nasty chemicals. Check out this link to an american site where they have used a 100% water based, 100% Non-Toxic wood treatment called Lifetime. I was introduced to...
