How does Pressure Treated Lumber Paint? Does it hold primer. I'm thinking
about using it as trim pieces that need to be replaced due to termite and

Some lumber yards carry a treated pine (some lightweight, fast
growing, low strength species). It is shipped wet, but even when dried
out, the crap won't hold a paint finish or glue, based on my
experience. Haven't seen any KD versions of the stuff. probably
because it would warp dramatically in the oven. Treated Southern
yellow pine rules so far as being sturdy and paintable. Did some
basement stairs a while back, and painted with ordinary oil based
polyurethane porch and floor paint, no primer. Still looks just fine.
