Guest fng Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 https://waitematawoodys.com/2017/03/28/the-most-referenced-viewed-story-on-waitematawoodys/ Here's a link one artical, there should be sub links at the bottom to other articles. Ideally you cut the rotten stuff out and scarf in new timber. Not the easy in some cases. There are other ways, but they need to be looked at on a case by case/area sort of thing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wheels 543 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 That's good news.I was struggling to think why you had an electrolysis issue where you described, but stayed out of the thread because I didn't feel expert enough in the discussion re timber vessels.You can rely on fng's help and that article is great.

Guest fng Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Photos would have helped Condensation may be salt related. There' clean and dry and then ...... Bit difficult to comment without a visual of the area Quote Link to post Share on other sites
