Redwood From Store

[kaaskaas]

Okay, so I've just bought a piece of redwood from my LFS; put it in my tub to make it sink and so it doesn't leech too many tanins. Do i have to boil it even if it comes right from the store? the piece of paper attached only says I need to soak it, but wanted to be sure

Thanks

Dont boil it as it can speed up the decaying process. Just give it a bit of a scrub and soak it as you are.
