The following is from the label, please help me understand. For Siding and Paneling One gallon of Bora-Care concentrate (2 gallons of solution) will treat 800 sq. ft. of 1" thick wood by spraying only one side. If siding or paneling is 1/2" thick, 1 gallon of Bora-Care concentrate (2 gallons solution) treats 1,600 sq. ft. Table B – Panels, Siding and Plywood (1:1 or 2:1 mixing ratio) Thickness (Inches) 1 Gallon of Diluted Bora-Care Will Treat Up To Minimum Amount of Diluted Bora-Care To Treat 1000 Square Feet 1/4 1,600 sq. ft. 0.6 Gal. 3/8 1,067 1.0 1/2 800 1.2 3/4 533 1.8 1 400 2.6
We understand that the Boracare label can be tricky to follow. The text is referring to a gallon of undiluted solution, which makes 2 gallons of finished solution, while the chart is referring to diluted solution. So, one gallon of concentrate makes 2 gallons of finished solution when diluted at a 1:1 ratio, and that total amount of 2 gallons of finished solution covers 1,600 square feet (800 per gallon of dilution).
