Prepping aged old wood siding, scaped bare on southside of house.
I recall reading somewhere about a preservation stabilizer to be painted on before a coat of primer.
Any advice?
Thanks

US Forest Products Labs recommend a Paintable Water Repelant Proctectant. Best i cam remember is that it for places where you might have end grain that can suck up water.
The picture in the book show a window casing with and without. The one without the paint is falling on the side casing where it dies into the sill, ie the end grain.
Jasco makes several products that are plaintable water repeltants protectants.
Smith Bros. or West system make a penatrating resin used to restore wood, usually used on wood boats. As such it is pretty pricey, but works good
If you use a wood preservative be careful and check the label........... the water repellent used in many brands is paraffin- not good for paint adhesion.
