The BORAX Wood Trick I Wish I’d Known 30 Years Ago!

I’ve spent 30 years working around homes, and I wish I’d understood this borax wood trick much sooner. In this video, I explain how borates can help protect vulnerable wood from decay and wood-destroying insects—and why they cannot restore wood that has already rotted away. I’ll show you: • What borax and borate wood treatments actually do • How hidden rot develops beneath intact paint • When wood may be treated and when it must be replaced • Why moisture control is essential for lasting repairs • How to avoid paying to replace the same damaged boards again Before you tackle a soft porch post or another suspicious piece of wood, I want you to understand the limits, uses, and science behind this simple mineral. #Borax #WoodRot #HomeRepair #DIY #WoodPreservation #HomeMaintenance
