FIN ISH ING RECOMMENDATIONS:

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

Overlap pieces at least 1:'

1. 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.

2. No finish, or Water 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, water repellent can keep the buckskin color; if not, driftwood gray will be reached.

3. 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.

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

Nails must just clear underpiece's tip.
