finish fo interior T & G Cedar ceiling
DoRight
| Posted in Construction Techniques on
What do people suggest for a finish on Cedar T&G ceiling? Don’t really want to add much color to natural cedar tone, perhaps a bit to deepen contrast between grain and knots.
Interested in durabiltiy, reducing warping (if an issue), cleaning issues down the line (will have wood burning device in room –Soot?)
Wipe on oil? if so what? Poly? Nothing? Stain and poly? Matt? Satin?
Thoughts?
thanks as always

Lately I've been using....
Penofin Verde for interior natural finish. It seems to be relatively user and environmental friendly. I like the results. Products that used to be good are either gone or completely reformulated.

Satin poly. You don't need anything exotic, 2 coats will seal and it will clean up nicely.
T&g ceiling
2 coats seal coat (dewaxed shellac) then 2 coats water based poly (general finishes).
shellac brings out grain and poly protects.
Get Purdue or worster camel brush for schellac and soft Bristle synthetic for poly.
willbe perfect!
