On new cedar less than 6 months old i would not use a pre-carb cleaner and do not. It raises the grain and scrubbing it will raise the grain more. 6 month old cedar will not take 2 coats of Ready Seal . It will take one coat. The wood has to be a year old before it can take two. On new cedar like yours a bleach solution works much better to kill the mildew and just a rinse with a garden hose as not to affect the surface of the wood because removing this surface will allow less oil to penetrate. Fixing your problem- Ready Seal doesn't get sticky but you over applied the product . After a couple of rain storms the oil on top should wash away or you can wipe it down with mineral spirits. Note- you didn't read any of my post for cedar! lol

Rick, can you put up a 24 hour video camera so we can watch the finish wear away ?

May have torched the building. Are u sure its Alum ?Bleach is not going to do anything on a burn , soot stain. Have some acid , degreaser, and sodium hydroxide with you. If it's Alum should be easier to fix and blend.

Brother Dan , it is the Priestwood not Priesthood . And instead of being called the Pope just call me the Pulp !!

I washed the mold off a bunch of birch trees a few years ago. I washed the moss off a statue and it was the head of a penis.

Awesome !! I think I batted 100% for 6 months quoting work after my first kid was born. What a natural high..................!

clear white cedar is a pain in the arm pit. how old is the wood

Koi pond is a major consideration for the whole project. $6 to 7.5k. What kind of wood?

So your referred to a very over the top new construction sun porch . Ipe floors and beams, pine ceilings, cedar framing between all windows. Lots of glass , storms 4 by 6 and fixed screens, and glass 3 by 4 just off floor 3 sides. Built 6 months ago. All wood except ipe was pre-sealed. First thing I notice is finish is coming off exterior wood and inside porch there is not a very good job. I call builder and he tells me they pre sealed the wood. Home owner asked what do think of the job? I say lets put a another coat on exterior wood because thats the correct course of action (mill glaze). Ipe floor lots of stains and tongue en groove. Debris embedded between boards and lots of future splinters for young tots. owner- Can you sand wood to smooth out ( room is just all finished)? No drainage.

Great!

Hey Nick what type of hats do your guys wear? Dunse caps !!! LOL LOL LOL

If you have the ability to heat the water when it's in the 50ties or below it makes a large difference.

Go for a TWP product at a local paint store. Stay away from Home depot and loews.

Between St. Paddy's day and April Fool's day let the questions flow...........................

I use 2 inch dowels 6 to 8 ft long and rap the plastic and clamp. I use two dowels one .at each end with about 8 feet of plastic between. Lots of big card board.

Pretty interesting read if you plug in" Linseed oil" and do a advanced search then sum reading. How people change, products change and how some don't change. I predict another change of opinion about a product after next year.

Copper based additives prevent mildew the best. Living in the Southwest will prevent mildew growth. Semi solids will do better and your able to clean them for easy maintenance. So the harder the out side shell is and the quicker it dries the less likely you get mildew. I only add the copper.

Just call your local VFW , American Legion, Army National Guard, and VA Hospital for potential helping.

Nice web site, What about your steam machine/ Heat and scrapping. Epoxy sucks!

You can't push through shoulder surgery recouping . You will screw it up and the operation or make it take longer to heel. I've I had 10 surgeries and know a bit about recouping.

Sig Nazi, what's up with Shane and how's he doing? Tell him to give the BDA chairman a call sometime.
