Researching my last post, some very alarming material came to my attention. I found a very fine online scratchbuilding tutorial that among other things also shows pictures of wood siding treated with the Greenberg/Nash method. I hate to admit this, but it looks great. I have a sneaky feeling I did not read the NG&SL articles thoroughly enough, since it has escaped me that an over-stain with Flo-stain natural pine is central to the concept.
Hmm… Maybe the biggest myth really is the claim that Driftwood is an overrated product?
The professor is still out on that one, and he will hopefully be back with some research that can settle the dispute.
Check out the tutorial yourself. Even if you are not remotely interested in these Driftwood matters, the tutorial offer some very good building and painting tips. Among them –surprise, surprise, an alternative to the techniques involving flo-stains. The results look every bit as good.
