Thank you Zach,

I agree, its the end grain that I am trying to protect.

Does Dolphinite have wood-preservative qualities? What about the other recipes?

I have heard of using Borate as a preservative but am wondering if any one has experience with it.

My first thought was to use a flashing to cover the joint and prevent water intrusion in the first place. Does any one have experience flashing timber framed joinery?

Thanks.
