Type of review

Although the instructions leave a lot to be desired; With a little research and testing through fire, we were able to get things off the ground pretty quickly. We have currently used about 25 gallons and have not been disappointed.

Pros
  • Non-toxic, environmentally friendly - NO PBDEs or toxins
Cons
  • Plug required

I didn't check it out until 2 days later and I saw black spots of mold/fungus on the plywood. I also sprayed some 2x2s that I let dry in the shed and they also started to mold. The parts of the tree that Iโ€ฆ
