This may be better off in finishing thread - but I'll try here first.
After treating cherry with 15% timbor solution for observed damage from either pp beetles or carpenter ants (but not sure if the little buggers are still active) a white powdery residue remains. If this residue is removed any ideas if enough solution has soaked in to be effective? Likewise, if any additional processing (sanding, jointing, etc.) is done will additional Timbor applications be needed? And finally - applying finish (specifically Watrerlox) any special steps for prep before normal application because of treatment?
Damage consists of observed burrows on face edge and pinhole edge entrys in sapwood/exterior sides, doesn't appear to be heartwood damage. Cherry is 2" thick X 15" wide so I have some room to work and I will remove as much damage as possible prior to using.
I'm planning on using the wood as a counter/bar top and don't want to have uninvited guests showing up.
