Like was said earlier Mother Nature can handle a lot of stuff if not in large amounts at any given time that amount sprayed on would be handled by evaporation and the critters in the soil

Even large amounts get handled over time. IIRC the Exxon Valdez spill disapeared years sooner than predicted because of bacteria eating the oil.

Thanks for the kind words Cecil.

And thanks for your info PO. Its good to hear that old school methods last. Another contractor told me today that the kiln dried wood would really suck up the diesel/oil mixture. He suggested using new motor oil instead of used to keep the wood from tinting so dark. Will try a test area on the inside which will be covered by insulation later on anyway.

I have tried new motor oil on wood for outside (I create outdoor sculpture in wood). I think I cut it with mineral spirits My experience is that it will still go grey/black. I think it is from fungus mildew. I was really surprised at that. I have a whole wall full of test panels that are outside, trying different finishes and seeing what happens over time. There are mildew preventatives you can add to finishes, but I have not had much luck with those.

I've seen one reliable source that says the spill area will never be the same and the fishery has yet to come back to normal. I guess if depends on who you talk to. I'm sure the Exon has a different take on it than others.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Momma nature will reclaim some truly nasty things and recover quickly. Times Beach Missouri was home to massive PCB pollution and the entire area was blocked off. It was said it would never be habitable again, yet land was quietly sold and is again a thriving area...PCB free....
