Here is an ecological and non-toxic treatment that ages wood naturally in only 30 minutes.
SHOULD THE WOOD ON MY DECK BE PROTECTED EVEN THOUGH THE WOOD IS TREATED?
Autoclave and immersion-treated wood provides effective protection, but not for a lifetime. We recommend letting the treated wood dry at least one year after its installation and then apply an outdoor finishing oil that will penetrate deeply into the wood. If no protection is applied, the wood will quickly turn grey. You will then see premature cracks due to water infiltration. If you want to know if your wood is well protected, do the water drop test.
WATER DROP TEST! Put a few drops of water at different places on your surface to be protected. If the drop quickly enters the wood, it is time to apply a protective coating. If it remains on the surface, your wood is well sealed, and you have nothing to worry about! This simple test allows you to see if your wood is dry enough for an impregnating or film-forming finish to properly bond.
