WNYTRPR Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 @EnigmaAre you a wood guy ?I am not so much lol .would you recommend sealing the entire piece ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Kinda lol. Pine's always a tough call. Looks like you got a bunch! Personally I'd be breaking out the saw horses and lining up an inexpensive sprayer for that. If you're going to clear coat it for walls and ceilings I'd spray a good coat on the back to seal them up a bit just because those boards look wide. Minimal expense for a little bit of piece of mind. Worst case you could use a tight paint roller or brush. Take a minute before you start that. Cut a couple shorts off of 2 or 3 bad boards. See if the T n G is centered on both faces. If it is, before you finish the pieces, you can flip the boards here n there to get the best figure on the best face. Get yourself a big pencil and mark the face of the crap side of each board. Seal that side first and make the other, pretty side, well, pretty. I'm sure whatever you do it'll look killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
