My cedar for my fence is arriving on Friday. It going to be the horizontal slatted type of fence with slats of about 44mm x 19mm. Something like this:
I want to treat it so that it doesn't silver.
I've been told by Osmo tech support that it's the pigments in the woodstain that really block the UV, so they recommend using the Red Cedar 728 stain as opposed to the clear 420 UV protection (despite the naming ).
I assume the same is true for the textrol - so would probably use the cedar tone textrol.
I've just got a sample of the Osmo 728 and it does alter the colour on the tiny sample of cedar that I've got, but I figure better that than constantly try to battle the silvering.
Does anyone have any experience or advice?
