pre-primed finger jointed pine
I am wrapping a deck with 1x12's. I have some 1x12 pine plank boards. Can I prime and paint these boards or do you recommend using the pre-primed finger jointed pine for exterior applications? Thanks

Oh boy...I would recommend against using pine period. Not a good exterior product. Actually not a good product at all.

My suggestion? Don't use a wood that's soft & rots. Heck, I don't even like Cedar!
Azek or equivalent if you want it white & there forever.
Otherwise, stained PT... Douglas Fir or Redwood..perhaps another option.

 .....where did you get this pine? Did you let it acclimate to the home before hanging it? Was it stored on freshly poured garage floor prior to hanging...I HATE when a yard drops it off there. Its nice they put it inside but that is a bad spot...the trim soaks up the moisture...I have never had a problem with PFJ....
