Can this item be applied to Douglas Fir?

Vantana S., I applied this to Douglas Fir 6x6" rough cuts. I built two 4.5'x11' boxes and two packages of this was perfect for two generous coats. It seemed to take to the wood nicely, but I can't exactly tell you how well it worked because I just did it this past fall.

To my knowledge the product can be applied to all wood types. For questions you can contact the manufacturer: Valhalla Wood Preservatives at 250 3582661. Hope this helps.

Yes, as long as the hose and nozzle will reach the tree or trees you are intending to spray.

Honestly, I am not 100% sure. But from my experience using it, I think it can. Since it required to put many layer of fiber glass resins and it should work on wood as well.

If you can drill holes in the wood and inject the Premise into the holes, it should work. It worked well for me on both interior and exterior wood.

No, this product is for application to bare wood. I've used a product like this for over twenty years, it is inorganic/mineral based and must penetrate the wood to react with the fibers.

Yes, but with difficulty on larger trees. We use it to kill mesquite trees which stump sprout after cutting down. It usually takes several applications.

Maybe for a short time - you have to apply it everything you use it on a shovel - not sure how well it would stick to pressure treated wood - would probably eventually absorb into it anyway. This stuff is like PAM cooking spray for snowshovels

I truthfully do not think so but I would suggest taking a small piece of composite and applying the product to it before applying it to the deck and testing it . Good luck it can be used for many things but it can have adverse affects on some things keep it away from some of your metal utensils .

I just sent an answer to your question. This is probable not strong enough to use on a tree. I ordered the systemic Bayer product that was specifically for trees and shrubs.

I guess you could if the coating is uniform and adheres to the surface. I have only used it on untreated wood.

Not no, but Heck NO! This stuff is for wood products. You might try a two-part epoxy such as Dev-con from B.E. Atlas.

It probably is strong enough to do this as long as you overlap the velcro onto itself enough, and if the tree limbs are small enough. You'd probably need to use more than one piece to hold the branches. It's worth giving it a try.

An interesting idea! But I doubt it will work because the petrifier is not a glue. Rather it is a soak-in resin that stiffens rotted wood but will not bind loose pieces of remaining wood together. I have had the best luck with applying TWO soaking coats of the product and then using an adhesive filler to build up the mass to the desired dimension. Another successful technique is to apply the coats of petrifier and seal the exposed wood with Liquid Nails - it doesn't build back the wood profile, but it does protect quite well from further wearing and rot.

Yes, as long as you sand off any varnish that might be on it first. I put two thin coats on pine and it looks great and I can still see the grain through it.

Yes, however go shallow at first especially if it is pine or another soft wood. Don't press down just let the weight of the tool be enough. Keep it moving at all times.

We have the spikes on the tops of outdoor sconces where nails or screws would damage the sconces. If you're putting them on wood, then screws or nails would work

yes. I use it on all sorts of hedges (boxwood, privet, yew, juniper) and privet should be fine as long as the branches are not larger than your finger.
