Joel Davo Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Jus wondering if its a good idea of soaking drift wood from my property or will it contain deadly bacteria, pathogens ect? And how to eliminate that problem! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betta Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Soaking it will get rid of all of the tannins if you soak it for long enough & if you are worried about the bacteria either boil it or if its too big then fill the container you are soaking it in with boiling water each time you change it, should be fine after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazarmy Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Make sure you do soak it, and use boiling water if possible, or at lease pour boiling water over it. You can also put in the oven for a while to make sure you kill anything on it, butmake sure you don't set your house on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
