Grade Stamp Moisture Designations – What they may or may not mean for treatability (Part 1) Moisture content plays a crucial role in the treatability of softwood lumber products with waterborne preservatives. Wood that is properly conditioned or dried to a moisture content below the Fiber Saturation Point (28-32% in SYP) will generally accept treatment as the preservative under pressure can be forced into the wood cells in those areas left voided by water. When lumber is processed at the sawmill, it is sorted by size and length and stacked on sticks to allow for air movement between the layers in preparation for drying, whether air drying or kiln drying. Air drying is a very effective and consistent conditioning practice but requires time and occupies a lot of area. Kiln drying, while more costly on an energy basis, can be accomplished in as little as 24 hours. Accordingly, a large majority of the softwood lumber being treated in our market today is kiln dried. After the lumber is out of the dry kiln and allowed to cool, the lumber can then be broken down at the planer mill where it is dressed to a standard size, graded, trimmed to the proper length and grade stamped prior to being sorted and packaged. #GradeStamps #MoistureDesignations #Sawmill #KilnDrying

Do you use black mould sprays? You know the kind you can buy in the shops to treat the stuff condensation creates? Let me explain why I ask... You probably know that a major ingredient of black mould sprays is chlorides - a salt. You can also see salt in the plaster of this wall from where it's damp. Salt actually attracts moisture from the atmosphere and so the cycle of damp continues. Leaving a chloride residue after cleaning black mould on your plaster walls/ceilings could be counterproductive, and actually result in more damp problems! Please contact an expert for advice before attempting a home remedy. It costs nothing to ask the question, or get a proper survey... #WetPlaster #DampWalls #BlackMould

What gets rid of limescale... Limescale is a type of chalky and hard deposit that tends to build up on pipework, hot water bottles, and inside kettles. It is caused by magnesium and calcium being left behind once hard water begins to evaporate. Hard water, which contains a high level of mineral content, is the main cause of limescale. This is why it usually appairs on kettles.

Planning to get a few projects checked off the to-do list this weekend? If they involve paint or stain - please be sure to follow these simple steps. #DidYouKnow - The oils commonly used in oil-based paints and stains release heat as they dry. If the heat is not released in the air as the rags dry, the heat is trapped, builds up and can cause a fire. 🔥Never leave cleaning rags in a pile. When you’re finished using the rags, take them outside to dry, keeping them well away from the home and other structures. 🔥Hang rags outside or spread them on the ground and weigh them down so that they don’t blow away. 🔥Put dried rags in a metal container, making sure the container is tightly covered. Fill the container with a water and detergent solution, which will break down the oils. 🔥Keep containers of oily rags in a cool place out of direct sunlight and away from other heat sources. Check with your town for information on how to properly dispose of them. #FireTipFriday #nhsfa #firesafetytips #memorialdayweekend

Vapor honing is a process that combines water, abrasive media, and compressed air to clean and finish surfaces. If you're looking to surface prep your parts, vapor honing is effective for removing paint and powder coat. The choice of abrasive media plays a crucial role, so any aggressive media like aluminum oxide will remove and prep the surface for a new coating and paint. #vaporblasting #vaporblasted #vaporblast #vaporhoning #vaporhoned #vaporhone #vaporhoner #vaporhoningtechnologies #vaporhoningservices #wetblast #wetblasting #wetblaster #wetblastanddryblast #wetblastingservice #wetblasted #aquablasting #aquablast #aquablasted #sandblasting #madeinamerica #madeinsouth #lincolntonnc #motorcyclerestoration #diy #diyprojects #diyrestoration
