Unusual Uses for Wolmanized Lumber

With its ability to withstand decay and termite attack Wolmanized Lumber has a great variety of uses. Two odd services being performed were recently reported.

In one case it is being used by Warren & Bailey Co. of Los Angeles in the form of spikes to hold together laminated slabs of cork installed in their refrigeration units. Metal fasteners corroded and failed within a short time under the moist condition found in these coolers. and spikes of monel metal or copper being too expensive for this work, wood pegs were tried. These also failed from attacks by moulds and fungi, but a perfect solution was found in the use of Wolmanized wood pegs. These are of different sizes, some as small as ordinary meat skewers, and others up to 10 inches in length and half an inch in diameter. They are used as spikes to hold the insulation in place. No failures have occurred and no further attention to the installations has been necessary.

In the other case the Alderman Company, fnc., Pasadena, has a system of ant control involving the use of many cups containing ant poisons. The cups are nailed to wood stakes. These stakes, being set close to the foundation walls of houses where water is used to irrigate plants and shrubs, caused endless trouble through failure by reason of decay and termite damage. Maintenance being on an annual basis the cost was too high for profitable operation until they began to use Wolmanized stakes, thousands of which are now in service. Cost is now reduced to a minimum through elimination of replacements.
