^^^ Was thinking of using pitch pine, any one had luck with using pitch for out door conditions?

I have it as a fence/wall. No issues with rotting but it will warp over time, not much but it will be noticeable on a gate. This is install day in 2017. Coated with the same CWF UV-5 shortly thereafter and not repainted since.

I like how that pitch pine looking as a fence, gives me an idea for a wall I want to raise

[rebound]

Its Berger Specialist Range penetrating liquid....I got it at Allied....Basically you put that on the wood and then apply the topcoat within 30mins

I also use the Flood on the Balata but, U seal it with Berger sealant 30 mins before applying the Flood. That precoat helps

What sealant do you speak of? Can you tell me the exact name? I can try it at my next redo in 3 months.

The right pitch pine is good but, it cant just be treated pine, you have to get the kiln dried one. When its pressure treated only, the moisture from the treatment rots the wood from inside..... call that number below for dried pitch pine

This Balata is 12 years old and look at how the metal corroded compared to the wood.

I have 6" pitch pine on my external gates. Started using thompsons water seal the sheen lasts 6 months and repels water for a year or so but gets blackish and have to sand between coating.

2 yrs ago I get fed up, sand it and used Sherwin Williams external oil and it looks just as good as the day I painted it up to now. The wood itself is solid and strong, no rotting, not over drying or anything like that. Just a little power wash once a year for dust etc

Bharat Nandlal Sawmill . He had a lot of imported and local hardwood . I used to buy crappo , greenheart and kabukali from him. He died a while back and his son and grandson runs the place .

His worker Ganesh opened up German Tech and he has a lot of good wood and does panelling and dressing at reasonable prices .

You know the thing spann.

Thanks man

Got the epoxy and pigment at Peakes.

Where do u buy your epoxy

Update on the Sewing Machine stand table...

Red epoxy inlays in all cracks and clear gloss coating done.

I also inset a channel on the underside to avoid warping.

Is there an ideal type of wood to use for outdoor paneling or is it based more on what is pocket friendly?

Folks were kicksing off when I started this thread asking about lockdown possibilities

This thing isn't going to end anytime soon. Yet ppl here and IRL moving like life is all normal. Another few months, more business closed down. Less ppl working what will be our situation?

Half of TnT don't save or invest. A former prime minister even said he didn't believe in saving surpluses, preferring to spend money on grand nonsense. Yet he's treated now like some kinda messiah.

For now, I'm one of the dwindling group of salarymen who are still getting paid. It ent going to last. I'll have to dip into savings to continue eating sooner rather than later.

And ppl will still be laffing and kicksing.

And when they don't have money to spend at the business places that remain open?
The knock on effects.

It's not like they could bounce back after the lock diwn, so it will persist long after we re open.

[redmanjp]
