It is strongly recommended to sand wooden faux beams before applying primer. Applying a finishing coat becomes easier and further enhances the natural resistance of white pine.
Since temperature and ambient humidity directly impact pine, it’s essential to allow the material to acclimate to its new environment for 48 to 72 hours before installation. Avoid long-term storage of pine in places like a basement or unheated garage, as this could compromise its quality and stability.
