pretty much sunk it for hours. Here is their ad.
Yes, I posted that very same video, on this very same topic, in reply 13. However, the edges were still sealed from the factory. (Before Cutting, and before exposure). I noticed when cut, the edges do not appear to be sealed. Perhaps the oil base paint will take care of any concerns. One thing is for sure a thin coat of a good exterior glue will insure a good seal, even before painting on the exposed cut edges.
You may want to go back and read this entire thread if you have yet to do so. There are some good positive and interesting thoughts found here within this topic. I appreciate you contacting the factory and sharing your answer. It is also good to be totally clear with the (questions) presented to the factory, as well as the answers to those questions from the factory. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm. Glad to have you here.
