Greetings all:
I just bought a house from an estate. Prior owner bought 8 gallons of Rubbol SIding Finish - was still in the boxes. I know almost nothing about exterior stain. Exterior trim and siding looks like it is a latex paint - it even is peeling in places like paint. Is it possible that a stained surface would look like a painted surface (at the end of life for the finish)? Link to the Rubbol page: http://www.perfectwoodstains.com/view-product/rubbol-solid-stain Link to the data sheet: http://www.perfectwoodstains.com/do...-datasheet/rubbol-solid---sik710.pdf?sfvrsn=2 On the data sheet for previously coated surfaces, it mentions priming bare wood spots (with Rubbol). Priming stain?
It is my understanding that paint over stain, but not stain over paint - correct? I was planning on clean, scrape, spot prime and topcoat with Super Paint. But my frugal side hates to not use 8 gallons of finish that I now have. I certainly do not intend to take the siding and soffits down to bare wood where the existing finish is sound. If I don't use the Sikkens material on this house, could I use it up on a much less demanding application, such as priming new drywall on a future project?
