I believe there's something out there that can be applied to 'new' pressure treated lumber - does anyone know what it is?   Bailey Citizen Username: Baileymac Post Number: 231 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Wednesday, April 12, 2006 - 6:57 am:        You should check with the pressure treating company. They may not all be the same. You might be able to apply a water repellant immediately though. From wolmanizedwood.com: "Most water repellent brands say that it is okay to apply a water repellent without delay, which is ideal timing. For other brands, a slight delay is recommended. Again, it is best to follow the manufacturer's instructions."
