Red from Detroit, Mi writes

After spraying Bora-Care at the 1:1 ratio on an old barn beam that will be turned into a mantle, there is a glossy shine that is sticky to the touch. Is this normal or should I sand it down and reapply?

Answer:

Drying times after Bora-Care can vary depending on the thickness of the lumber, humidty and air temperatures. It’s recommended to allow 72 hours for the Boracare to completely dry before sanding, painting or staining the wood. Once the application has completely absorbed throughout the wood and dried, there should not be any sticky residue left on the surface. Lumber that is greater than 10 inches thick do require 2 applications or if only 1 or 2 surfaces of the wood can be treated. Please refer to the Lumber Bulletin and the Bora-Care Total Wood Preservative for Use Prior to Installation of Lumber Section on page 13 of the product label for more information.
