When I cut CCA, I used a sealer on all the cuts (don’t remeber the name).
What do you use to seal ACQ ect. when it is cut?
Thanks

Greetings John,
This post, in response to your question, will bump the thread through the 'recent discussion' listing again.
Perhaps it will catch someones attention that can help you with advice.
Cheers

John, this is what I use http://www.jasco-help.com/products/prod_wp.htm
John,
I use the Jasco brand of copper napthenate solution, just like the previous poster. It is more of a preservative than a sealer. By that I mean that its purpose is to render the wood unfit for munching by bugs or fungi. It is not primarily intended to exclude water, or to prepare for topcoating, as is usually implied by the term "sealer."
