APPLICATION/COVERAGE/CLEAN-UP: <br /> There are four general rules to observe when n-�� ,r .. _ �., with <br /> ATCO A1402 Copper Preservative: <br /> 1. The more solution that is applied and ak the more <br /> effective the treatment. <br /> 2. Sawn ends as well as other exposed end and crosscut grain <br /> should receive extra attention and protection because <br /> they are more �usceptible to damage. <br /> 3. ATCO A1902 Copper Preservatfve will not be satiafactorily <br /> absorbed into wet or frozen surfaces, including unseasoned <br /> wood surfaces. <br /> 4. Follow label directions carefully and observe the pre- <br /> cautions that are outlined on the label. <br /> ATCO A1402 Copper Preservative may be applied by dipping, � <br /> brushing or rolling. This product can be aprayed but it is not <br /> recommended since the spray particles may be irritating to the eyes, <br /> nose and throat, as well as damaging to vegetation. <br /> Dip method: In order to obtain maximum effectiveness, the item <br /> that is to�ee treated should be totally immersed into ATCO #1402 <br /> � Copper Preservative. <br /> Fence posts and other similar items can be treated by immersing <br /> the end in an open head 55-gallon drum, then inverting and immeraing <br /> the opposite end. If only the portion of the pole or post from ap- <br /> proximately 6 inches above the ground line to the underground base <br /> needs to be treated, a single end dip process may be used. This <br /> , method should only be used with durable woods and/or in dry climates. <br /> For total immersion dipping of lumber and siding, a simple metal <br /> or wood trough lined with heavy polyethylene film is adequate for <br /> the job. <br /> Immersion time dependa on the species of wood and the severity <br /> of exposure the treated wood is expected to encounter. In addition, <br /> the seasoning of the wood and wood temperature are factors to be <br /> taken into consideration. <br /> For estimating purposes: limited exposure wood (siding, trim � <br /> lumber, etc. ) needs approximate y to minutes of immersion. Wood <br /> subjected to moderate exposure (mud sills, plates, etc. ) should be <br /> dipped 90 to minu es. Finally, wood that will be exposed to ' <br /> seve.re exposure requires 36 to 42 houra of treatment. In all cases, <br /> a ona mmersion time will increase the preservative's effec- <br /> tiveness. <br />
