Old Trimboards with Grey Coating
Tried alt.building.construction with no luck.
What is it and what was it for? Pics worth 1000 words. Here they a http://www.konicaminoltaonline.com/photosite/albundy@km Click on View Click on the picture to enlarge. House is 28 yrs old. I have found on the trimboards that there is a grey paperlike (?) coating under the paint. It appears to be factory installed. When exposed material gets wet it gets soft and mushy. If it has been wet for a few minutes, a pressure washer will just melt & blow away leaving the bare wood. Backside 1: Backside of board. Grey paper all on front. Wraps over one edge to back. The paper has a thickness and you can slide a razor blade from the bare wood to the paper and get under the paper. Backside 2: nother backside pic Backside 3: and another. Frontside: Painted side. Although this was found on the exterior trimboards it was also found on some of the old boards indoors. This is from a closet rod bracket which has always been painted around. Grey paper (?) under layers of paint. Thanks, Al... |

Can't say for sure but glued on paper = smooth surface for paint...wood grain/pattern doesn't telegraph through. They used to sell particle board pre-covered with same. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
