Wondering what others on the forum are using for sapstain treatment on their maple, and where do you get it.  I try to do all my maple sawing in the winter, but when they get blown down and need to be cut up in the summer, I want to treat them so they will hold for a week till I get a load ready for the broker.  I have heard some speak of Busan, but I find many different Busan's each with a different number following it. anyone have the right info??  Is it possible to use some bromine or swimming pool chlorine to kill the stain causing bacteria and fungi without bleaching the wood??
What do you use, and why?

I have had good luck with a bleach water mix.  about 1/2 cup in a garden sprayer full of water.
