Tannin bleeds appear on my white cedar shingles. What should I do?

Tannin is the natural oil found in cedar that gives it outstanding resistance to fungal decay. It is rare in white cedar to ever see it appear, as it typically remains in the wood. It is a water-soluble substance. However, tannin can appear in rare cases following intense periods of heavy rains and intense sun. Tannin in white cedar will not stain the surface and will usually weather away within 3 to 6 months.

Sap is seeping from the knots on my genuine wood siding. What should I do?

Sap is an inherent aspect of solid wood and seeping can sometimes occurs. Allow the sap to dry and gently remove it so as not to damage the stain. See the Maintenance Guide for all details.
