On a stained exterior surface, will applying Boracare with Mold Care offer any protection against mold formation on or under a water based stain?
BORACARE with MOLD-CARE <span new="" roman;="" font-size:medium"="">can only be applied to raw, untreated, unsealed, unpainted wood which is what you should have in your crawl space. Bora-Care with Mold-Care should be mixed with 5 gallons of water. You do not have to worry about the amount of water that you use as once it is dry it will not be an issue. Be aware that Bora-Care with Mold Care will kill any mold on the wood, but it will not get rid of the stain that is left by the mold. To get rid of the actual mark or stain on the wood, you need to apply Mold-Clean to the area. Mold-Clean should be applied first, and then you should treat the area with Bora-Care with Mold Care to make sure the actual mold in the wood is neutralized.
