Bill,
Is this UL or UL Canada listed?

This product has a UL listing. I'm not endorsing one way or the other but I
think the intent of NFPA 13 would be to accept products like this when
applied properly as Roland indicates.

Subject: Re: Wood Coating
AS we all know, 13 allows fire retardant wood to be used as defined
by NFPA 703. The last time I looked (was nit recently but a year or
3), NFPA 703 addresses both pressure treated wood (as required by the
building code to qualify as treated) AND surface applied (ie field
painted).
IMHO, bad approach.
