2. Looking to Have Durability in the Building and Construction Material? The wood surface in rough cedar lumber comes in its rustic appearance and fine finishing levels. The material in rough cedar lumber is not as absorbent as the traditional milled lumber is. Its surface is prepared by selecting the finishing type and its maintenance levels.

3. Preparation of Surface • The covering of Rough Cedar Lumber must be washed with a good quality wood cleaner. • Later, follow it up with usage of a high-quality brightener. • The wood cleaner ensures removal of grime and dirt present on the wood’s surface. • It opens up the pores present in the wood that ensures chances of penetrating deep inside. • Let the cleaner sit in for at least 30 minutes and apply nylon scrub brush on it to scrub properly. • Rinse it thoroughly with the water at the end to give it a smooth finish. • The acid present in the brighteners for rough cedar lumber helps in smoothening the tannins. • Apply the brightener right after rinsing to keep the wet wood. Let it stay for 50 minutes and then clean it off.
