We're building a wooden canopy and the redwood we bought for the

primer that works with "moist" pressure treated redwood?

Anybody with experience with this?

Where did you find pressure treated redwood? I would not use
that as it is the only lumber of its kind in existence. Very
rare. In fact, it is non-existant.

Step two; you should not paint redwood. If you must cover
it, tis better with a penetrating stain applied to preserve
the beauty of the wood, while preserving it.

Step three; It will not be moist after a week or so out in
the air, unless it rains.
