Hello one and all,
I have some joinery grade redwood which has unfortunately got damp and started to develop a blue mould or mildew. This happened in a surprisingly short time as the timber was only left out in a light shower of rain. The infection is worse on the sapwood but also occurs on the heartwood. My question is; will this affect the long term durability of the timber?. It is intended for exterior use as garage doors and I was intending to treat with clear wood preserver before priming and painting.
Any advice appreciated.
