Hello:
How "critical" is it for the Cedar clapboards to be absolutely dry prior to putting on new Latex paint (oil primer is already on) ?
If they are a "bit" damp due to a recent rainfall, is that O.K., or must they really be
Thanks, B.
I'd wait at least two days after the rain stopped.
Any moisture that is trapped in the wood will try to escape when the surface is warm. Paint acts as a vapor retarder. The suggestion to wait two days is a good one. T
