..wood repair? Man when it comes to hammer and nails, I'm all thumbs. But due to flippin hurricane Ivan, I had to replace a 14 foot piece of cedar eve running beside my soffet just under the roof shingle flashing. Its a 14 foot long by 1 inch thick by 6 inches wide piece of fresh cedar. My little house is sided with rough-cut cedar planks. I think it looks great but, it's old and "seasoned". The siding that's on there is all "patinaed" and dark due to age, mold, sunshine,etc. Anyway, it's always been unfinished and its mostly a grayish/coffee-ish color now...except of course, for that new piece of eve that I had to replace, which sticks out on the front side of the house like a sore thumb...all golden-looking and stuff. erg. :evil:
So - do any ya'll know how to "rapid-age" cedar planks? How can I get that new piece to get dull and gray in a hurry?
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
