Perma-Chink Shell-Guard RTU Borate-Glycol Wood Preservative is a ready-to-use borate-based formulation that contains the same active ingredient and glycol carriers that have proven so successful in Shell-Guard Concentrate. Like Shell-Guard Concentrate, Shell-Guard RTU is colorless, odorless, has a very low level of toxicity to people and pets, and is just as effective for preventing wood decay and insect damage to exterior and interior wood members. Shell-Guard RTU is labeled for the control of termites, wood boring beetles, carpenter ants and wood decay fungi.
Since it is ready-to-use, you can pour it right out of the container into your sprayer without the fuss of measuring, mixing and stirring. Besides the convenience, other advantages of Shell-Guard RTU include its stability and relatively quick drying time. Your logs will be ready to stain within one to three days after applying Shell-Guard RTU.
An application of Shell-Guard RTU is permanent as long as the exterior wood surfaces remain protected with a quality, water resistant stain.
