Specific Advantages Of Palco Rustic Redwood Bevel Siding

FIN ISHING RECOMMENDATIONS:

Palco's Rustic Redwood can be finished with a variety of appearances.

t. Stains: Oil-base semi-transparent stains, very popular' provide a color but don't hide the grain, knots, or texture' (As shown in above photograph.) Oil-base opaque stains will usually obscure the grain and knots but not the texture' g. Paints: Top coat can be either latex or oil base and must be applied over a compatible prime coat. Primer must be an oil or alkyd-resin base, or a stain-resistant latex base'

Z. tto tinisn, or Wat6r Repellents: With no finish, the surface will first darken and then in time become driftwood gray' A nonpigmented water-repellent coating will minimize the darkening and make the surface become a buckskin tan. lf reapplied' witer repellent can keep the buckskin color; if not, driftwood gray will be reached.

+. Do not use shake and shingle paints, low lustre alkyd paints' or varnishes.
