USES:
TimberSaver can be used as a preventative pre-treatment, or as a remedial control agent to protect above-ground wood and wood products from damage due to decay causing fungi (brown, white and wet rots), and wood-boring insects including:

* Powderpost beetles (Lyctidae)
* Furniture beetles (Anobiidae)
* Old house borers, longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae)
* Subterranean termites (Reticulitermes, Coptolermes, Heterotermes)
* Dampwood termites (Zootermopsis)
* Drywood termites (Kalotermes, Incisitermes)
* Carptenter ants (Camponotus)

TimberSaver can be applied to wood products including logs, framing lumber, siding, plywood and wood-foam composite structural components. TimberSaver treated lumber is non-toxic and can be sawed, shaped, glued and finished. TimberSaver will not corrode metal fasteners. Treatment is permanent provided the wood is not exposed to moisture or in contact with soil.
NOTE: Because TimberSaver is water soluble, exterior surfaces or wood exposed to moisture must be protected wit a high quality water repellent wood finish such as DEFY.

BENEFITS:
* Prevents fungal decay
* Protects against wood-boring insects
* Remedial control of wood attacking organisms
* Provides long term protection
* Naturally occurring mineral salt
* Treated products are non-toxic to humans and animals
* Poses no significant risk to air, soil and water
* Will not corrode ferrous metal fasteners

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
CAUTION: TimberSaver solutions are toxic to plants, so care must be taken to avoid spills and improper disposal. It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labelling.

APPLICATION:
TimberSaver may be applied to wood surfaces by dip-diffusion, pressure treatment, spraying, brushing, immersion or flooding.

3. SPRAYING, BRUSHING, IMMERSING AND FLOODING
Application methods described below will yield a minimum retention level of .24 lbs. per cu. ft. of boric acid equivalent (BAE) in the outer 3/4" of the treated wood. Diffusion of TimberSaver into wood begins immediately and requires several weeks to complete. These treatments may not kill preexisting insect larvae, and after maturation adults may emerge from wood, but further infestations will be prevented.

SURFACE/SOLUTION PREPARATION:
SURFACE: Wood must be bare, free of dirt, mold and mildew and wax and surface finishes. Remove all previous coatings and finishes by sanding, high-pressure wash or sandblasting. For best cleaning and brightening of exterior wood use TimberSaver and TimberBrite following manufacturer's directions. Superior penetration will be obtained if the surface of the wood is sprayed with clean water and allowed to dry until just slightly damp before applying TimberSaver. Apply TimberSaver only when temperatures exceed 40 degrees F. Do not apply to frozen wood.
SOLUTION: Prepare a 10% solution by mixing 1 pound of TimberSaver per gallon of water. Add water to approximately 80% of final solution volume to mixing container. With agitation slowly add appropriate quantity of TimberSaver (1 pound equals one loosely packed 32-oz. container). Add the remaining water volume and mix until powder is completely dissolved. Solution is stable as long as it remains covered to prevent evaporation.
Brushing and Spraying: Apply TimberSaver solution at a rate of 1 gallon per 200 sq. ft. to all accessible surfaces until thoroughly wetted. Apply a second coat 4 to 24 hours later. Thoroughly saturate cut ends of wood.
Dipping: Immerse logs, lumber or siding for 10 minutes into a 10% solution of TimberSaver. Let excess solution drain back into tank. Repeat dip treatment 24 hours later. Keep wood dry until a water repellent wood finish, such as DEFY is applied.
Flooding: TimberSaver solution may be applied by pouring into holes or log kerfs. Fill holes with 10% solution and let soak for 1-2 days until wood has absorbed TimberSaver. Then spray or brush exterior surfaces as above.
Note: Solution run-off from vertical walls, etc. should be contained with polyethylene film or equivalent shaped to form a catch basin, which will prevent injury to nearby foliage. Trapped liquid can then be collected and reused.
