This is the kind of guy I would love to be able to hire. I can tell from listening to him I could just say what I want and let him do it the way he wants and it would come out great great.

Whoever built this table did a really good job on the 45's.

Thanks bro. I’m going to wait three “Mumfs” before I paint my new wood fence. Nice to see someone that actually knows the science behind the work they do.

[carlcarefor]

Thank you sir for the explanation... bird songs are a bonus

[angelica]

Wow, this is the best explanation I've heard about pressure treated wood. Thank you!

[fawn]

Great video! I'm about to start repairing areas on my deck and this is exactly what I needed to know! 😇

[agenttaz]

Thank you for the advice on painting the pressure treated lumber.

[VoiceMonet]

Thank you SO much... Super helpful! Every tangent you went on actually answered my next question without me having to ask. I appreciate you :)

I was in the paint business for 42 years and I would tell customers this information time and time again. Some listened. Some didn't and had failures. I told customers to wait at least 60 days to paint P/T. If you wanted to paint or stain it right away use standard non treated lumber. The last thing was to stain, not paint.

This information is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[roramonjr]

Great explanation man really appreciate it

[Mryochay]

Thanks a lot for this explanation! What about using oil? Can you apply it earlier?

[Zdosse]

Can the treated woods sit in the garage to dry until it meet the required temperature to paint before building? By doing this, at least I have a coat of paint in those hidden spots before constructing.

[zadok]

Nice video! But don't forget to remove the "mill glaze" before staining, either by adding oxalic acid or by a low-pressure power wash. This will allow the new wood to receive the stain properly

So question living in florida with random rainstorms. How can i let dry for 3m-6mths. Building a pergola and now im stumped after watching this

[bryancook]

Before I watched this video I painted the pressure treated wood. It didn't take the paint very well. I live in SW Florida and it is very humid. Would I be wrong in removing the paint by sanding? Would it be able to dry out? The project has been built already. Thanks.

Does everyone have a building to store PT lumber so it drys out away from the weather? If not, having it outdoors will cause it to get rained on or snowed on so how does wood dry in those environments?!!!

[jeanluctrader]

Good info but I would never paint but rather stain the deck…

I hired a painter to paint my fence of pressure treated pine. The builder told me to wait one year before painting it. I waited one year and a month. Within two months of him painting it the fence started peeling. I told the painter and he said that he just found out that that type of wood will not take any type of primer, paint or stain. He said that he will reapply it but it peel again. I don't think this guy did the job right. I saw him spray two coats of primer/sealer only. First off, one year is amply time for the wood to dry, Second he should have put one coat of primer/sealer....then two coats of latex paint. Also, the primer should be engineered for use on pressure treated wood. Am I right? Thoughts?
