We have active powderpost beetles in our hardwood floors and looks like non-active in our subfloors. We are told to sand down the hardwood floors and treat with boracare. Once boracare is applied how long do we have to wait to then stain and seal our floors? After boracare is applied do we have to worry about floors being waterstained from the application? Some refinishers want to re-sand after boracare is applied to avoid water staining. We are afraid this is just going to remove the boracare. Will the boracare penetrate through the hardwood floor and then onto the subfloor?
Once Boracare is applied, it is recommended that you wait at least three days for the product to dry and soak through the entire piece of wood. Do not wait longer than six weeks to re-sand/stain/seal the floor.
