Need brown stain/sealer/pesticide

[Larry Jaques]

My clients don't have enough money for me to say that. If they did, I'd just tell them that I'll be replacing the structure every 1.8 years, or we'd have used that high-dollar, plastic-fantastic decking in the first place.

"OK, I'll hire someone else."

Only you, Ed. Only you... ;)

By gosh and by golly, I am, indeed, a brujo, sir. You were right to cast no aspersions upon my kitten lest I hex thee.

Damn. I got the definitive answer today about my problem: NOGO.

I called Homax (makers of Black Flag Termin-8) today and their customer service guy had all the dope. The EPA, in its wisdom, has deemed the product to be unclean. Brown is out. But, since the green has been on the market and advertised as a pesticide, it can stay.

The EPA, also in its wisdom, had deemed illegal any mixing of goops which can seal, color, and protect from bugs/weather/mildew, so I can't even make my own replacement.

I'm now looking for the right color of deck stain to at least seal and color the cut ends of pressure treated wood.
