Have a cedar sandblasting job. Would like to stain the wood this time instead of painting. Anything i need to know. Probably stupid question. Do i need to prime before staining? Or just apply stain to bare wood like any other. Will be gold leafing the raised text. Should i resin epoxy the raised effect to get a nice smooth guilding surface?
Thanks all...Go AMERICA!!

For cedar, give a look at the oil-bases Cabot stains: http://www.cabotstain.com/ You can find it in a semi-solid or solid. The semi-solid should last about 3-5 years, and be easy to touch up in the future. The stain needs no primer and should be applied immediately after you blast the wood.
Good luck,
Marty
