if i treat wood that is set in concrete (used as expansion joints in concrete drive) do I have to keep it off of the concrete.?

I assume that the wood expansion boards are already set in concrete. To get maximum protection you need to pool the Copper Cote over the wood/concrete joint to allow it to soak down along the sides and ends of the wood. I don't see getting the Copper Cote on the concrete as a problem except for the slight discoloration that will eventually fade away. I have brushed Copper Cote along wood/concrete interfaces without any issues.

Treated wood normally does not make a good expansion joint, expansion joints are normally tar paper like felt and in some cases a foam. However pressure treated wood can be in contact with concrete.

I've only used on wood and so far it has done a great job. You could test a small spot to see if it leaves a stain on it.

We have not tried concrete, though we have to have the drill on the lowest power setting for wood work. We believe that it would do well with concrete, provided you have a good masonry bit. We love the drill!

I have used this kit with pine and had no issues. But using glue and not over tightening the screws can ensure you don't crack the soft pine and still have a strong joint.

No the package comes with a wood stud anchor. It would not work for concrete, but i would not use the enclosed hardware anyways. I went to home depot to buy better hardware for a few cents.

Yep, provided you screw it into a wooden stud. Not sure about concrete, and it will definitely pull right out of dry wall, so get a stud-finder and go to town.

I have not done this, but from my experience using it for wood, if the underlying surface is flat and smooth, then it should work.If the concrete has a rough or dimpled surface, then it will not work well at all. I would use a wire brush in that case.

not for wood, these are metalworking chisels, they could be used to concrete but not with a long life expenctancy

No, I wouldn't use them on concrete. They must be used on hardwoods or a smooth floor.

I have had mine in concrete and have not had a problem. We have many temblors and this product has worked well. BTW, I live in Costa Rica.

I don't know mine was applied to Sheetrock I would think as long as very smooth concrete it would be fine but otherwise dunno. Try contacting the seller perhaps?

No-- the way the kit is set up you need to drill into concrete and wedge provided plastic anchor inserts into the hole. The screws provided then screw into the anchors to tighten. If you buy concrete screws you can drill a pilot hole and then screw the screws directly into the concrete without using anchors. The concrete screws create threads in the concrete as you screw them in. You can then unscrew them and screw them back in at any time because the threads are permanently etched into your concrete holes. Click on my review for more detail.

I have mine on a hard wood. If it was smooth painted concrete I'd definitely try them

no you cannot. you need a drill with a carbide tip for concrete. The best for concrete is a hammer drill and carbide bits.

You don't have to but I did. I work on many different wood projects from furniture to experimental airplanes and always use glue. I don't like to have joints come loose.

It is not an exact science. Use a bit for a snug fit up to the large end. I practice with a hole in a scrap piece of wood. As you insert the screw, it expands the tapered end against the sides of the hole in the concrete for a really tight fit.

I would think so b/c I used it on a cement driveway and on a wood deck without any problems.

Apologies in advance if this seems idiotically obvious, but I would screw on a frame of selected 2X or thicker lumber and attach to that. I would cut so any knots would be away from attachment points.
