I'm not representing that i know anything, but read on wood boat forum a post by a 90+ year old chemical engineer who talked about using antifreeze to kill rot before sealing it up. His points were that: 1) It's not approved for the use, so you're on your own to use it safely; 2) It kills pretty much everything, including rot organisms; 3) It chases moisture like crazy (he gave an example of moisture it sucked out ot the air - left an open container in his lab and the weight increased dramatically in a short period of time), so it should follow the damp wood to its end. He said he had been using it in his wood boat repairs for years and at over 90, he must not have suffered too much from the toxicity (he always let it dry and sealed it in as I recall). I think he had some comments about the epoxy treatments, but it's been a while and I don't remember specifics.
