Problem Solver - Cedar
Other Problems
Cedar is unusual wood to treat, normally it is left to weather naturally as it goes silverish and just weathers naturally and last a long time, this is one of the reasons it was and is still used on Church roofs etc.
Preparation
Ensure surface is sound dry and clean
If any mould or mildew is apparent, treat with a suitable fungicidal solution, rinse again with clean water and allow to dry.
Abrade with 100 grit abrasive paper to remove any loose or flaking areas and to create a key
Basecoat
Once the surface is clean and all loose material has been removed, treat with a suitable primer and allow to dry or for a translucent finish use a suitable woodstain.
