Make sure that all screws, nails and hardware are non-corrosive. A quality finish will enhance the performance of any exterior wood project, so it is best to coat all surfaces with a water repellent wood preservative before installation. Make sure surfaces are clean and dry. Use a brush for application-don't use spray systems. Don't use varnishes, lacquers or other film-forming finishes.
Water repellents stabilize redwood's color at a buckskin tan if applied and maintained regularly.
Transparent and semitransparent stains designed for decks provide both protection and color. Bleaching stains speed up the natural weathering process and turn redwood to an immediate, silvery gray. Please go to our Free Literature page to request information on this product. All Rights Reserved.
