Another day and after I fuel my personal furnace will take a new look at the messy project. Following is a link to pics of where I am this morning. Plan to use Sally's suggestion of the alcohol water mix and see if the wood is more friendly. Patti
No need to mix it 50/50 with water..it is already diluted when you buy..I do not know how that got started.. it also works well on HARD wood as well as soft or punkey..ALCOHOL IS GOOD FOR A LOT OF THINGS..
