    what do I need to know before I start using various epoxy products on PT wood and plywood? Adhesives, penetrating sealer, high solids glassing, paints, etc. I was told PT woods contained salts that prevented ashesion. Every piece had to be sandblasted. No Way!! I hope. :mad:

    Thanks Sam Sam. The problem is, Glen L rarely updates their information and it is very dated and usually generic. PT wood has recently been changed and I'm looking for new information om the new formula. I have learned CPES (sold by Smith and Co.) is not recomended for PT woods at all! I really appreciate the reply, thanks again
