Re: Git Rot Info
Best bet to get the best info is to hop over to the Boat Restoration Section and go to the red Search at the top of the page. Try entering "git rot" for a search argument. Also try "anti freeze" for a search argument.<br /><br />Rot, as I understand it, is a fungus that grows in wet or damp wood. The only thing that I know that will kill the fungus is, believe it or not, automotive antifreeze. I used it for rot under a Formica counter top in my patio last year and it worked. I shot the antifreeze into the wood with a hypodermic needle used for horses. While it killed the rot the damage had already been done and the rotten wood is still there but at least it is not spreading.<br /><br />I used git rot on a boat floor many years ago and thought it was a waste of money. If you have rot there is only one way to do it right and that is to bite the bullet and redo the floor. Either way the Boat Restoration is the place to go for info.
