Important Information
<br />• Different pieces of lumber may vary slightly in thickness and in
<br />width when exposed to different moisture and temperature
<br />conditions. According to the lfbod Handbook: hood as an
<br />Engineering Material, Lumber and other wood items may change
<br />in moisture content and dimension while awaiting shipment,
<br />during fabrication, in transit, and in storage."' This is particularly
<br />important for wood that is intended for outdoor use, as it will pick
<br />up moisture during storage as well as before and after construction,
<br />causing the wood to shrink and swell. Proper care, application and
<br />construction methods should be used to ensure an outdoor project
<br />will last for years to come. A coating of a Clear, brush -on water
<br />repellent (SKID 9553-9660) will help protect the wood from the
<br />effects of weather. An annual coating will help maintain the beauty
<br />of the outdoor project.
<br />• Mold growth can and does occur on the surface of many products,
<br />including untreated and treated wood during prolonged surface
<br />exposure to excessive moisture conditions. To remove mold from
<br />the treated wood surface, wood should be allowed to dry.
<br />Typically, mild soap and water can be used. For more information,
<br />visit www.epa.gov.
<br />• Do not burn preserved wood.
<br />• Wear a dust mask and goggles when cutting or sanding wood.
<br />• Wear gloves when working with wood"
<br />• Some preservative may migrate from the treated wood into
<br />soillwater or may dislodge from the treated wood surface upon
<br />contact with skin. Wash exposed skin areas thoroughly.
<br />• All sawdust and construction debris should be cleaned up and
<br />disposed of atter construction.
<br />• Wash work clothes separately from other household clothing before
<br />reuse.
<br />• Preserved wood should not be used where it may come into direct
<br />or indirect contact with drinking water, except for uses involving
<br />incidental contact such as fresh water docks and bridges.
<br />• Do not use preserved wood under circumstances where the
<br />preservative may become a component of food, animal feed, or
<br />beehives.
<br />• Do not use preserved wood as mulch.
<br />• Only preserved wood that is visibly clean and free of surface
<br />residue should be used.
<br />• If the wood is to be used in an interior application and becomes
<br />wet during construction, it must dry before being covered or
<br />enclosed.
<br />• Disposal Recommendations: Preserved wood may be disposed of
<br />in landfills or burned in commercial or industrial incinerators or
<br />boilers in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.
<br />• If you desire to apply a paint, stain, clear water repellent or other
<br />finish to your preservative treated wood, we recommend following
<br />the manufacturer's instructions and label of the finishing product.
<br />Before you start, apply the finishing product to a small exposed
<br />test area before finishing the entire project to ensure it provides the
<br />intended result before proceeding.
<br />• Projects should be designed and installed in accordance with
<br />federal, state, and local building codes and ordinances governing
<br />construction in your area and in accordance with the National
<br />Design Specifications (NDS) and the Hood Handbook.
