    Just what we needed

    The product is fantastic. Easy to install. I hope to never have to test it out. All the documents and tests will be good to have if the city needs to see what we treated the lumber with. Also, the team was outstanding. They answered every question we had.

    Might be a good product. Unfortunately, product sheet only discusses its universal application. The technical sheet explains that you can only use WATER BASED products on it. I need a product that will accept an oil base stain.

    I applied it. Application was very easy. I am using it on siding. I have top coated it with a clear sealer. There have been no fires in my neighborhood threatening my home, so I don't know how if it protects my home yet.

    Delivery extremely prompt and people lovely to work with. Product easy to apply with a hand sprayer, I sprayed the entire exterior of my wooden house as I live way off the beaten path at the end of a box canyon...a fire trap if there ever was one. Hope I never have to test its efficacy:)

    One gallon was enough for my entire front porch surface, the posts and some of the bottom. I did, however, coat two sticks and let them dry fully, then threw them into a burn pit - they held out for a couple minutes and did not actually catch fire but they did char and burn.

    Sterling service, fast shipping!
    Look at their videos showing blowtorch tests! They also included safety data sheets and certificates to show your insurers. Best recommendation!
