Pressure Treated Posts
I am building a patio cover and using 4x4 treated douglas fir posts
which I want to then paint. What is the best way to cover the hash marks from the pressure treatment. Location is in Southern California where the temperature can reach 100` with direct sunlight. Thanks for any suggestions. |

If you are talking about the parallel lines up and down the lumber that are
slightly depressed, those would be saw blade marks. The way to make them go away is to remove them with a belt sander. But with treated lumber, I'd get a decent breathing mask, not just the cheapo paper ones. Down here, we have CCA treated lumber (which I wish they would have LEFT as illegal and phased out) and breathing that arsenic really isn't a good idea... John in Houston wrote in message oups.com...
