Bullwinkle, Thankyou for the advice about the copper. Yes, anything good seems to be toxic, unfortunately, but maybe Carey is right about needing a penatrating oil. What about peppermint oil or something. Those all natural soaps have solvents and peppermint oil. I wonder if you could coat the wood with that stuff. MIght be safer, easier and cheaper. Just brainstorming for the attic and maybe other areas. House would at least smell good!
