[QUOTE="JamesM56alum, post: 238761, member: 7596"] OK now iv been talking to alot of people about this issue and it's like a 50/50 ratio some say yes u can use green treat an some say no you cant because it eats metal and alum. Now i have a very good friend that is a carpenter and he also builds houses hes been doing it for 20 or so years, hes also a hardcore fisherman. He says the old green treat would eat metal and alum in a heart beat the new stuff doesnt at all, the gov made the wood companys change their chemicals in the wood because it was actually eating the flashing and screws in the frames of houses that werent even more than 10 years old, He says as long as you dont use certian types of sealer that reacts with the chemical in the wood that creates a reaction that will eat the metal, you will be just fine. If you read some lables on the sealer containers some actually say not to use with green treat and some that are just for green treat. So i personally intend on using the green treat because it's cheaper than marine and also if you seal it, it will last longer exposed to UV and the stress of being walked on etc etc So what do you guys think ?
