How long after it rains, should I wait to work with wood?

Johnchip on Apr 17, 2016Anything you do before it is evenly and throughly 'kiln dry' is asking for more work later. Just wait until it is all thoroughly dried in, out and under. I am sure you have plenty of other things to do today.Helpful Reply

Lynn on Apr 17, 2016As a former professional painter, its going to depend on your climate. If you ate dry and arrid i speculate 4-7 days. If you are humid probably 2 or more weeks. We use moisture meters about $30 at a paint retailer. You will probably know right away when you start sanding, your paper will get a goo. GLHelpful Reply

William on Apr 17, 2016Wait till it's totally dry. As it dries some of the wood will more likely crack and check. Then you can salvage the good wood and put it to use.Helpful Reply
