    Minus .08 kg in three days = 2.075 ounces of water. The samples are back out in the weather to see how the "paint" holds up.

    Good luck.
    I mean it - I don't wish any bad fortune on you.

    I really mean that.

    History and tens of thousands of people I dealt with selling these types of things for over 20 years tell me otherwise though.

    I've had mine in my climate controlled workshop now for 10 days now, with a fan on them. Moisture content has gone from over 30% to around 18-21%. Still real high, but I wonder what the equilibrium moisture content of pressure treated Southern yellow pine is when living outdoors on the coast in Florida. Anyone have any idea of what that is?

    I'm probably going to install it next week, and paint it in a month or two.
