[fatboy]

Anybody dealt with this, my first reaction when it was proposed earlier today was that it in not resistant to rot and decay. But after doing some reading, I am having second thoughts.

No experience, but i would want to see test data.

Don't think it would work on T1-11

Seen it on one of those off the grid shows once.

I thought this was a technique on Cedar (in Japan) are they saying that this works to prevent decay on all woods?

No, we have a citizen that wants to do it on their residence.

Who saw it on Magnolia Farms where Chip used a propane torch to do it.
Underlying wood specie is critical as to durability.

And treatment with an oil based product (continuously), which is what most miss, which made me rethink.

Not different from treating wood products with aftermarket wood sealer/preservatives..........forget about the charring.

The charring is what makes it visually distinctive, that is why Chip liked it..

Note that this was done on "solid" material, not plywood/ T111.
