Recommended Surface All lumber should be stored on the premises in dry
Preparation warm rooms to prevent absorption of moisture. The
amount of moisture contained in a piece of wood is
referred to as "moisture content" and is as a
percentage indicating relative weight of the water in
the wood compare to its own dry weight. Wood
expands as it absorbs and shrinks when it loses it.
The moisture content of wood changes with the level
of moisture or humidity in the air. The moisture content
of wood at the time it is ed should be approximately 5-
8%.
All surfaces should be sanded smooth. Each
subsequent sanding should use a finer grit paper than
the previous. A typical system would involve using 100
grit sizes should be close enough so as not to leave
sand scratches from the first sanding that cannot be
removed by the next All sanding dust must be
removed by using either a tack rag or a blast of clean
air from a spray gun.
