Re: Re: Sealant for exposed 2X4's

[Guest guest]

Hi Fletch; I'm familiar with this and other sealers that contain

antimicrobial agents within the sealer. When I called about Bin, the

technical expert informed me that they have similar products with

antimicrobial agents to prevent mildew/mold/bacteria growth guaranteed for 5

years however I cannot tolerate the antimicrobial agents and would become

ill from them. We talked about this, even discussed applying a sealer with

the antimicrobial agents first on the wood and drywall we didn't remove,

then apply the BIN to cover the odor; however after much discussion we

decided as long as my house is watertight, no more roof leaks and the mold

is no longer present than I shouldn't have a problem and this double coating

would only be a waste of money and time.

And.....this is very important, mold remediation must be done before any

sealer can be applied including . If you go to their link

http://www.fosterproducts.com/Images/foster_tds/40-50.pdf it states the same

as my BIN Technical Expert advised me. That is it prevents mold from

growing on the actual sealer or paint, not the wood, drywall or other

surface the sealer is applied to. And if mold is still present in the wood,

drywall or whatever under the sealer and paint it can continue to grow.

Hope this makes sense,

Rosie
