INTRODUCTION
Outdoor weathering of unprotected wood can cause severe surface degradation. |1-3~ Wood siding is often exposed to many weeks of weathering before being coated with paints or other finishes. This weathering before finishing (preweathering) can lead to chemical and physical changes on the wood surface that weaken the future paint-wood interface. This interface is crucial for adhesion of film-forming finishes; wood preweathered for several months before being painted showed decreased adhesion and shortened paint service life.|4-10~ Traditional siding materials consist primarily of vertical-grained western redcedar, redwood, and similar dimensionally stable ...
