clapboard primed, finger jointed- can it be stripped

axsb | Posted in Construction Techniques on

WE have to replace some clapboards on a building that will be chemically stripped. Is it ok to use primed finger jointed cedar clapboard or do we need to use clear?

Thank you

    Why don't you chemically strip the building and them replace the clapboards?
