Interim report on the use of borate rods for the in-situ treatment of joinery
IRG/WP 3159
D J Dickinson
In the U.K. in recent years, it has been recognised that there is a major need for in-situ treatment of joinery at risk from or showing the early signs of decay. Several techniques have been developed to provide such a treatment, one of which is based on the insertion of anhydrous borate glass rods. The tests in hand are long term and this report is confined to the mycological isolation data from Western Hemlock doors and as such is an interim report of current research.
