Question 46

I have a home with cedar siding that's very weathered and has had Penofin applied to it a couple of times - at least 10 years ago. There are areas where it looks like varnish was applied when the house was originally built in the '50's which would have to be sanded. Everything is mildewed/darkened but overall a cleaning and a brightener would probably bring the wood back to its original color. I am looking for a product to apply that will protect the wood, resist mildew/mold growth, last for several years and be able to be reapplied without having to sand prior to reapplication. What do you recommend? View answer

Question 50

I applied this product about 1 1/2 to 2 years ago on some outdoor furniture. I am ready to re-apply. The instructions make it sound like you have to sand when you re-apply. But, it sounds like, from another answer, maybe not. Is using the Rubio cleaner sufficient? Or, how does know if you need to fully sand or not? It seems pretty vague and the product instructions only say to sand if previously coated. They do not give you ANY information on the maybe/maybe not part. View answer
