Before installing it, I want to prefinish the vertical pine shiplap siding on a shed I’m building. I plan to use a semitransparent stain as my final finish. Is that what I should use as my prefinish, or can I use some kind of less-expensive primer without completely obscuring the look of the wood? I’ve never used vertical shiplap before.

No need for pre anything.

Don't I need to seal it before putting it up?
Yeah, but not with primer. Use the same finish finish and second coat the visible face if so desired. Or what the can's instructions say.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
