Tim-bor is designed to be applied directly to wood. If by "around the exterior of the home" you mean as a defensive shield or barrier, then no, Tim-bor is not applied that way. There are excellent chemicals available as barriers and for subterranean termites. Also, a vapor shield and keeping all cellulose debris cleaned up - wood chips and other organic matter from under and next to the house, such as decorative wood chips - helps prevent termites. For effective barriers, I suggest you Google "chemical barriers for termites" and be careful. Or let a termite company handle it. Tim-bor is designed to be applied directly to wood.

Its not designed to be sprayed around the exterior . Its designed to be sprayed on wood. General insecticides such as talstar are for exterior perimeter treatments.

I am and I did, HOWEVER, I used it in a verrry limited way, and I read a lot about it from both the manufacturer and other sellers online before I bought it.

Yes, but going around corners and using as a wrap will need some steam to loosen and patience. If you do it right please send pics cuz that's going to look very cool!

No you shouldn't use this for roofing. The head of the siding mail is too small.

i bought this for a gift for my grandson and i had the same question...i have not physically tried it but it does look like you should be able to...however there may be a need to do some very minor trim

You might be able to get away with it but I wouldn't recommend it. The installation instructions specify it is above ground only and has to be placed below the water level in order to get it to prime.

Yes it is, but this isn't for professional use more of a do it yourself type person.

Yes, I believe you can. You will need to wrap it very tightly with at least 50% overlap and no wrinkles. But why not buy a set of male/female couplings and place them in the damaged area. For $2 you will get a foolproof repair. You will not have to wonder if the repair will leak.

I suppose you could. I would be very careful. Results may be best if you tried to trim the unwanted area as low as possible before applying the product.

I haven't done any house painting with this set up. I wouldn't think it to be the best for that use. All house painters I've seen spraying have been using airless outfits. Viscosity of exterior house paint could be a problem. I spray pre-catalyzed lacquer that is much thinner than exterior latex.

This product should work fine for that purpose. Ease of seasonal removal will depend upon the type of adhesive / 2-sided tape you chose for your temporary isntallation.

Given the price of this equipment, I would be reluctant to experiment with it. But, theoretically it should be OK, I mean the thing is riveted sheet steel, right? My real concern would be the soot. You would most likely have to totally re-season it.

Yes it can. They do not offer much instruction for the procedure but it was a rather straight forward task if you are comfortable with carpentry.Watch for electrical wires when cutting into the wall and remember that you will still have to plug the unit into a wall outlet when the job is complete.

Yes, probably a novice could do it. But keep in mind that you are dealing with gasoline and a motorized engine.

I'm sure it could be done, BUT it takes so long to set and harden...it would mean staying off the floors for maybe as long as two weeks after the second coat was applied. It tends to be somewhat gummy for a while until it is really dry and set up. I'd try a test on a separate piece of slate and see what happens. Only then would I go for it.

If you have a mandrel for it, but I think you will have a tough time controlling the pad with a drill. I personally would buy a buffing machine.

Good Question. I would say yes... but only with a gun designed for undercoating. She's thick and takes awhile to dry. I would buy a product made to spay on. this is not a two stage product, no mixing.

I believe you should use it all at once. And it does not go as far as it says it will. If its just being used to seal and insulate windows and doors, one bottle should be enough. And it works well for just that small application. There is a learning curve the first 5 minutes you use it. Very easy to apply more than what you intended. Once you get the hang of it tho', it works well. We thought, by everything we had read, that it was going to cover most of the 10 x 20 shed we had built. We wanted to use it as the insulation. It says 13,914 sq ft of coverage at 3/8". It covered the windows and the plywood joints on the walls and ceiling. Cost wise, definitely would've been better to just purchase the insulation. The product itself is good. Just would've needed a dozen bottles to do what we wanted. Not sure where they get their 13,914 sq ft figure. We used it very sparingly.
