[QUOTE="Al U Minium, post: 411340, member: 20945"] Well see how smart it was to join a site where we can share ideas and information. Thank you for the information. I looked it up and it is the reaction of copper in pressure treated lumber and moisture which causes the aluminum to be eaten up by electrolysis. A barrier is needed between the two materials. I want to keep the pressure treated for its resistance to rot so I will install a barrier. I am going to look into using tape (McMaster 76015A66, 7621A11, or 6031T898 perhaps) in the contact area of the wood strips. Maybe just shipping tape for cardboard boxes would be enough as the wood is immobilized. The other problem I have not addressed is filling the voids in the foam that is encased in the seats. Can home construction foam in a spray can be used for flotation fill and stand up to salt water? [/QUOTE]
