Methods and compositions for protecting wooden members (components) against attack by destructive insects and fungi. The wood preservative is formulated as a paste and is applied in that form to an exposed surface of the member. The active ingredient is released by that same moisture which creates conditions conducive to destructive attacks on the wood. Boron-based active ingredients are preferred as are polyethylene glycol carriers for the active ingredient.
