Wood Painting Tips
Make sure to keep your wood dry for at minimum 2 weeks prior to painting or staining wood in warmer weather. Usually in summer time. This allows moisture to properly leave the wood. This allows the paint, stain/sealer to effectively penetrate the fibers of the wood better allows a better more bonded cover. Protecting your wood for years to come.
