Hi
I have bought some treated 3x2 for making a small stud wall in my house but it feels slightly damp. Its pretty straight at present though.
Can anyone advise in whether its best to dry it out before I start to cut and fix it and if so how long - subjective I know - Im just after a rough guess - its only dampish -not visibly wet.
Im concerned that if I let it dry out it might warp a bit making it more difficult to work with. At the same time Im worried that if it is damp then it might shrink after fixing which wouldn't be so good for a stud wall structure.
Thanks for any 'constructive' advice.
