Sun room addtion that is covered on the 3 outsdie walls and ceiling with pine drop siding (T&G or novelty).
It was never finished.
One side has light water stains.
I know that with oak tanin stains that oxalic acid would what is used.
Would it work on the stains on the pine and if so does it light the aged pine color. Or would the whole wall need to be treated. And if so would it be too light that it would have to stained not to look out of place against the other walls and ceiling.
The stains are not bad and only need to lighten them a little so that they are as noticable.
Any other products?

Oxalic acid works wonders but you'd want to do the whole area as it will alter the patina of the both the stained areas and the rest.
Does it change it enough that walls and ceiling will have to be done also.I know that there is no exacting anwser to this.The stains are real light.I have only used it in 2 situations, but using commerical prepackaged mixes.One on my boat hull and don't need to worry about color as that was in the FG gell coat.The other was as a deck brighter and whole I deal was to get rid of the weathered wood.

The big boxes have a blend they sell with Oxalic Acid as an ingredient but the name escapes me.
Since you have just a few light stains I might be tempted to lighted hand brush the blend on the whole board that contains the stain and then remove it off quickly with damp rags being careful of drips.
Or maybe just the stained area in a random swipe if it can blend in with the appearance of the grain.
Then if needed do it again with an increase in the time the blend is left on in small time segments on the next board until a satisfaction is reached.
Maybe coating those separate boards and the whole walls when done and dried with a penetrating oil might help blend it all together.
Good luck.

So what'd you decide to do with it?
Nothing yet.I am going to talk to the HO about the options. She wanted to try things.I have no idea if this will do anything at all, but I am goint to suggest that she start with white vinegar.And have here test on a near the bottom corner and see what affect that it has..
