Very helpful! I'm looking for something like this for my barn with fresh cedar planks. I'll try some samples first. Thanks for taking the time to make this. We'll done!
I'm about to finish rough sawn red cedar siding, and I'm looking for an aged grey color. Plan on doing a test sample with a scrap piece first however. One issue I've seen with rough sawn wood is that this chemical leaves little beads that dry darker and are quite noticeable on the surface. I'm going to go over the planks with a stiff brush and see if it corrects that.
Bonjour, je ne comprends pas grand chose quand vous expliquez mais ce que je vois dans vos vidéos me plaît énormément aussi, un superbe pouce bleu et un abonnement.....merci à vous.
Hi, 1. Do you know how red cedar shingles will respond? 2. Is the product that you used here the "silvery patina" color choice? There are a few options in Amazon (grey, brown, silver patina) Thanks, Chrisitne
I looked into the product and there are several different color options, I’m assuming that you used the grey or silvery patina, what color did you use in this video?
Is the shed sagging in the center? Windows and roof dont look level across them. Optical illusion? The reason I ask is I'm surprised you would go thru the effort of shaking it if it were settling or settled before shoring it up. And or leveling it
I like the idea of this, but the 6 yr old look was brown and mottled in my opinion. Which color did you use, the box does not seem to indicate? Have you tried silver patina? Thanks.
I need to age a fireplace mantle on a new screened-in porch. The floor and ceiling are dark brown with cool undertones, and the wicker furniture and outdoor drapes are cool grays. Therefore, the orangish-brown cedar mantle looks really out of place. This will help a lot. Thank you. :-)
Hi Steve, I can't email you, your email form is off on contact page on your site. I have a question about alaskan yellow cedar. I need to tone down the yellows for shelves and make the wood look light like oak or pine without it being too pinkish or too yellow. just natural wood. I've tried all kinds of water based wash type stains from minwax and all kinds of varathane from home depot for oil stains...none of the grays work, they all look like wood painted which not what we're going for, we are trying to match it to a gently/slightly faded natural wood color so what I really need is a translucent polycrylic or polyurethane top cover with a slight tint that tames the yellows. How can one achieve that? any idea? I love what you're doing with the shingles, cedar shingles are my favorite but we don't want to go into the walnut color scheme on this project. had no access to white cedar, only red and yellow so yellow it is. HELP!
WARNING: Cover any painted trim or doors, or you will need to deal with rust stains. I had 3 shingled walls on the inside of my enclosed porch treated with this, it looks great. I wanted an old shingles as the porch is now decorated with a nautical theme. If i had to do this all over again i would have used some wall paper trays to capture the solution as it dripped down the walls to save the mess of cleaning up and use it to respray on touch ups.
The natural does look better but it will eventually all turn gray on it’s own because of sunlight. This makes sure the graying/aging is uniform especially under the eves where there isn’t much sunlight.
Cedar shingles last indefinitely when left to weather. IMO they have a classic look, but that's my opinion I guess. By no means horrible. This product does a great job IMO. Painting cedar shingles is # 1; one heck of a lot of work if you are going to do it yourself, # 2; they have to be maintained and repainted (again a lot of work if your going to do it yourself) # 3 painting traps the moisture and they will rot quicker. The open to the air cedar shakes on the side of our house have been there since 1975 and look like the day they were nailed on. Most folks like the look of our place. It sounds like you might not. If you are going to apply a colour, staining is the way to go.
@@kevindenisebaker6653 no way that painted cedar shingles will trap moisture and rot quicker… that’s nonsense I agree w the rest of your point.. My house has eastern white cedar shingles, left natural, untreated to weather because I like the look, definitely not because paint or stain would shorten the useful life. Cheers
What color did you use? Silvery patina or Gray? Thanks.
dissolve some steel wool in vinegar and add that to your water (filter it first). same deal. the iron and acid bind with the tannin in the wood

Easy and BIG thumbs up! Well presented and what a great result. I LIKE this product. THX!

Thanks,
Chrisitne
can I use this on untreated, knotty pine, interior stairs and, if so, how long does it take to dry (for bedtime!)?
Would love to know which 'shade' was used for this application.
Can you use it on Cypress?
Would it be the same process?
Looks really good new.
Always learn some little thing like "making the siding under the eaves the same color" from you! Not to discount some of the big things too.

Great Video. Are the singles white or red cedar? They look like red cedar to me. Thanks

Where do I buy the echo that makes the shingles look aged?
Can you use that on other woods as well? I want to weather some pine boards.
Did you fix the problem that was highlighted?
I like the idea of this, but the 6 yr old look was brown and mottled in my opinion. Which color did you use, the box does not seem to indicate? Have you tried silver patina? Thanks.
Will this work if you have shingles that have already weathered unevenly?
Great looking transformation!

Great video !
Can this be used on boards that have already weatherd or should i avoid those areas?
Yes. I’d like to know how long after this can be done.
thanks

What happens if you retreat after several years later.
Why did the trim pieces not change color?
Looks to me like he may have used spar ahead of time.
I'm really sure you can build it yourself. I did this 2 weeks ago thanks to the Woodglut plans.
Why didn't cedar trim turn also?
Clear coat
He mentioned that he put a clear sealer on the trim. Rewatch the video.

I kind of like that crooked window on the shed...
Which one?
@@Bertastrophe Look at @4:50
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Soak a bunch of steel wool in vinegar...for silver/grey/"bkackening"
Just another neet option.
This guy does not answer questions as you can see by all these unanswered comments. He may not even read them.
Before looks 10 times better , Who would wanna ruin the colour of the wood looooool
The natural does look better but it will eventually all turn gray on it’s own because of sunlight. This makes sure the graying/aging is uniform especially under the eves where there isn’t much sunlight.
The video explains why someone would want to do it. Even weathered look vs uneven natural weathering over time. Plus additional rot resistance.
looks like shit, why would you want to do that?
One man's shit is another's Shine-ola.
Congrats... That looks horrible. Should have painted it and give it more protection and a better look. Just my opinion... Mixed with facts.
