We have a two story 1896 victorian, with what I think is shiplap redwood with a V groove at the joints. I just started scraping at the joints and any loose paint pealing around the windows. For the lead I am usign a resperator and a large tarp to catch all the pieces. After I am done scraping I am planning to lightly presure wash to remove the dust. I am not planning to sand the scraped paint ridges down. I really just want to get the wood protected before the winter.
My questions: What should I use to patch the joints between boards in the same horizontal rows? Silicone caulk? Some gaps are 1/8th inch or maybe even 1/4 inch.
What type of primer should I use?
Thanks in advance,
nathan
