Treatment with Bora-Care is planned, but in sistering joists that have had powderpost beetle damage in the past, I'm looking for a paintable treatment that doesn't need to be used up before it is unmixable. Bora-care recommends using all that is mixed, so I'm looking for an application that can be painted on, then sealed up for use as needed. Also, visited your site in Norcross and found the service nice, and very helpful. I'll definitely be a return customer. Thanks for your help.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your business! You may still be able to use Boracare as you have described, depending on the rate at which you mix it. 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 mixture ratios must be used within 24 hours to prevent the product from degrading. A 1:5 mixture ratio can remain stable for up to 30 days. You should do your best to only mix enough solution for the job you are doing that day to prevent having to discard any solution. We are not aware of another product that can be saved for later use once it has been mixed into solution. After that point most products will start to not only break down and be less effective.
