Stained Cedar Siding
Hello,
I just got a job offer involving taking off the old stain from a cedar wood siding and re coating it with a new stain. I have never done this job and do not know how to take the old stain off. And the steps how to apply the new stain. I had read in this forum, to take off the old stain, it had to be "power washed" but I do not know how much it has to be power washed. Can anyone help me explain it to me in a step by step process from power washing to the final coat of staining. Does the stain need any kind of chemicals or protected coat. Thank you for the help. |

Re: Stained Cedar Siding
I agree with rws on this one but I also don't your tenacity/skill level so I won't say let someone else have the job but this is advanced stuff. As long as you know what you are getting into. I positively would need to know what kind of stain is on there now.
solid: will look like paint, no grain showing. semi solid: looks like watered down paint. Grain is obscured by opaque color. Both a solid and semi solid could show signs of flaking. Semi trans: Can come in water borne or oil/alkyd based. Bring along a can of Easy Off oven spray (the one that contains sodium hydroxide) Apply it in a hidden spot and wait ten minutes. Let me know what happens to the finish. |
