Tim-bor can be used as a wood preservation, insecticide or fungicide. You can apply it to the wood as a dust, or liquid for interior and exterior use. Mixed 1 pound per gallon, you create a 10% solution which should be applied in two coats about an hour apart. Or, you can make a 15% solution by mixing 1.5 pounds per gallon and applying one coat. However, a 15% solution may result in whitish crystal formation on the surface which should be removed before refinishing.

Formulated with a concern for the environment, Tim-bor is used for the control of carpenter ants, drywood termites, wood decay fungi and wood boring beetles. As water soluble borate powder, Tim-bor diffuses into the wood and acts as a wood insecticide, fungicide and preservative. Tim-bor won't break down over time like most organic compounds, therefore offering longer lasting protection. Best of all, Tim-bor is easy to mix, virutally odorless and has no known resistance. It is great for a preventative treatment. If you have an active infestation of insects, we recommend Bora-Care instead.
