Application

Nailing. Nailto furring strips or blocking spaced 2' O.C. or less. Use 4d finish nails for blind nailing through the tongue or for face nailing. Colored nails can eliminate the need for countersinking and filling when face nailing. Gluing. Palco Paneling can be easily applied to flat surfaces using common construction adhesives. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's directions. Finishing. For the ultimate in a carefree interior, leave the redwood unfinished. The surface color will gradually darken with age and then stabilize.

In areas subject to soiling, a clear sealer or lowluster lacquer should be applied to protect the beauty of the wood. These finishes are economical and easy to apply. In areas exposed to moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms, use a polyurethane or alkyd resin sealer. This provides protection and a washable surface. Penetrating oil-based stains are recommended if other tones and hues are desired.
