>>887090Jeezus, that's... not even that bad. oooh, got touched by dead animal that is clean enough for people to eat... what a disgusting thing. Also, one reason I said look for stuff that would be domestic, not pallets from international markets.
And yeah, standard size pallets can be used for years until they break. Custom sized pallets are usually only used once, though, then thrown away, so only have one thing on them.
>>887286... First off I said go for domestic shipping ones, so wouldn't matter. Second you are incorrect. They get sprayed with the regular insecticide in 1st world ports. They get sprayed with bootleg nerve toxin that gives everyone cancer forever because it's slightly cheaper at 3rd world ports.
>>887339Many pallets do. You want to look for ones labeled HT and conforming to the international EU standards. Pretty much just wood cooked to slightly polymerize it and kill off everything inside, no chemicals. I wouldn't suggest making cooking tools or tables or clothing drawers or stuff you're in regular contact with, but picture frames, shelves, decorations, ornaments, furniture frames (for the parts under the upholstry), I personally would feel comfortable with, as long as it was labeled in a way that made me feel it probably hadn't been treated with nasty stuff, and there were no stains etc. on it.
