Geez, I replaced my fascia and soffits with PT lumber in 2000. Primed
and painted it, and the paint still holds tight and lookin' good.
What did I do wrong?
And that is where I use PT painted. I think others are referring to a
surface that is walked on, a deck or porch.
Not even walked on. My balusters and rails would peel every couple of years,
too. It's places that get and stay wet for periods of time. Fascia and
soffits, particularly, don't tend to stay wet.
He was replying to someone who said "PT chemicals prevent paint
adhesion," which isn't true.
