  Applying reguler pine trim on the outside of a home that's just painted is going to rot out in

  The Mcs, Why do you say....?:confused:Because he asked if the laminate should go under or

  Thanks Richard. I'll have to look when I get home at which DAP it was. I know I've got some 230

  if we removed the skim coat and repoured a new layer would this not also need maintenance as

  Looks like we posted at the same time. Let me know if you have an questions on the spoxy stone,
