Armstrong Clark has developed a new semi-transparent mahogany color similar to the old 550 Cabot Mahogany Flame color. The set of photographs are of the new mahogany color on a white cedar home. The other photograph is of the new mahogany color on a stripped/neutralized IPE board that has been exposed to full sun for 6 months at 5500 feet elevation. The top half of the board is Cabot and the bottom half is A/C. Please let A/C know what you think of the color.

After 1 week of exposure to the sun

Good point ! Found an old yellow pine deck board and some yellow pine poles (old balusters) out back. Will prep and put the new color on tomorrow as soon as they are dry. With the sun out here, they will be dry in a few hours.

This home was completed over 2 1/2 years ago.

We are into the third year of using A/C and are setting up the maintenance schedule for this year. The photograph below is of a cedar fence cleaned, neutralized and coated with 2 coats of A/C Cedar Tone 2 1/2 years ago at 5000' elevation.. Obviously, it does not require maintenance. The fence photograph shows the South and West facing sides. We will be posting photographs of A/C maintenance jobs as they are completed.

Thank you

I agree with Beth in reference to the need to strip and also with Jim in reference to the possibility of residual staining. You may very well have to strip more than once, and carefully, due to the delicate nature of the shakes. The photographs below are of 20+ year old siding on a garage located at 5500' elevation in the Arizona mountains. The side with the garage doors faces almost due East and the other side faces Southwest and is fully exposed to the sun. We also restored the oak garage doors. There was some residual staining remaining after stripping, so we decided to go with a blend of 2 parts A/C Cedar-Semi and one part A/C Cedar tone. The renovation was completed almost 2 1/2 years ago.
