Hmmmm..... how bout if I torched the wood, to sort of surface-singe
it?
Would that help adhesion?

If you are going through that trouble, why not use KDAT instead? Kiln

Too late. Plus this is stockade fencing, not too many local choices.
Basically it looked sturdy and was there.
Plus a kind of experimental installation, so I went cheap/convenient, not
really planning too much ahead.
Turned out pretty well, so now the painting issue.

I put up stockade type fencing made of PT 3 years ago:

One part is 2 years older than that.

There is nothing on the wood and it still looks as good as when I built
it. I wouldn't dream of painting it, that would be a huge mistake.
