I used Borax years ago but can't seem to find it now. Our self build had water damage and the I joists have Black mould on which we want to treat before continuing.

not affiliated to this supplier, just what came on a Goggle search. we used something similar to treat woodworm-infested beams in our barn conversion, although we got it in powder form and then mixed it with water.
Also various concontions available on eBay, try searching for Boron rather than Borax.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17930&Focus=302946#Comment_302946 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17930&Focus=302946#Comment_302946 Wed, 23 Aug 2023 11:10:29 +0100 tony http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17930&Focus=302951#Comment_302951 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17930&Focus=302951#Comment_302951 Wed, 23 Aug 2023 17:01:34 +0100 revor http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17930&Focus=302955#Comment_302955 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17930&Focus=302955#Comment_302955 Thu, 24 Aug 2023 07:14:01 +0100 alant On the other hand the boron gels and liquids seem to suggest not entering the building again for 48 hours after use, which is not ideal when you are building a house and have lots of fans trying to dry the place out.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17930&Focus=302956#Comment_302956 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17930&Focus=302956#Comment_302956 Thu, 24 Aug 2023 07:21:47 +0100 revor
