Perma-Chink Armor-Guard is a concentrated borate powder that is dissolved in water, and then applied to un-infested clean, bare wood by brushing or low pressure sprayer. An application of Armor-Guard will protect wood from wood-ingesting insects and fungi that cause wood decay as long as the exterior surfaces are maintained with a quality, water resistant stain.
Perma-Chink Armor-Guard is a concentrated borate powder that is dissolved in water, and then applied by brush or sprayer to clean, bare wood. Armor-Guard protects un-infested wood from wood decay and wood destroying insects. Exterior surfaces of wood treated with Armor-Guard need to be protected with a log home finish to seal in the borates. The Armor-Guard treatment is permanent for wood if the exterior surfaces are kept sealed with a quality, water resistant stain. When the finish protecting the Armor-Guard treatment is physically or chemically removed, Armor Guard will need to be reapplied to the clean, bare wood prior to the application of a new exterior finish.
