Application

Nailing

Nail to furring strips or blocking spaced 2'or less. Use 4d or smaller f inish nails for blind nailing through tongue, and 4d f inish nails in face nailing. lf face nailed, colored nails can eliminate the need for countersinking and filling of nail holes.

Gluing

Palco Paneling can be easily applied to f lat surfaces using the commonly available panel adhesives and following the adhesive manufacturer's di rections.

Finishinc

For the ultimate in a carefree surface, leave the redwood unf inished. The surface will darken somewhat in a few years, and then gradually lighten.

To retain the initial redwood color, use a dull or satin lacquer, or a clear sealer. A number of clear sealers are available, are economical, and are easy to apply.

In areas subject to soiling and moisture such as kitchens and bathrooms, apply lacquer or clear sealer.

For a washable finish, apply one or two coats of a flat or semigloss varnish.

lf other color hues or tones are desired, penetrating stains are recommended. Any color or hue can be achieved.
