Any way to halt wood rot?
I'm repairing, for the second time, a window frame in my 140 year old house. About 6 years ago I carefully cut and chiselled out all the rot I could find, and machined up wood to integrate it all back as if nothing had happened. At the time I tried common bleach on the remaining timber to stop progression of the rot, but this has failed, and here I am again about to repeat the first exercise.
So the question is whether there is any proven chemical to brush into the freshly cut faces of the timber that will kill the rot?
