Pressure Treated or Moldy?

May 03, 2008 2 Replies

I got some pressure treated recently at Lowes and some of it has a green powder substance on it. It sure looks like mold to me. It doesn't look like it's from the pressure treating, and it just so happens my allergies spiked when working with it. Anyone see similar and know what it is?



BTW, I let all the PT wood dry out and any that warps I return to Lowes no problem.

put laundry bleach on it, if its mold you will see it change quickly.

If it dosn't change color, maybe it's an OD of the toxic crud they use to treat it these days :-)
