FAQs

What is the best way to cut the stripwood?

Use a hand saw or circular saw with a fine-tooth blade for the cleanest cuts. Always measure twice and cut once.

Can I use this stripwood outdoors?

Yes, but it's essential to treat it with a suitable wood preservative and apply a weather-resistant finish.

What kind of glue should I use?

Use a wood glue specifically designed for softwood. Ensure the surfaces are clean and clamped properly while the glue dries.

How do I fill nail holes?

Use wood filler that matches the colour of the wood or the intended finish. Sand it smooth after it dries.

How should I store the stripwood?

Store the stripwood in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Lay it flat to prevent warping.

Is this stripwood suitable for load-bearing applications?

While it can be used in structural projects, always ensure the dimensions and wood grade are appropriate for the load. Consult a professional for load-bearing applications.

Can I paint this stripwood?

Yes, it is ideal for painting. Ensure the surface is sanded smooth and primed before applying paint.

Troubleshooting

Wood splits during cutting or nailing.

Pre-drill holes before inserting nails or screws. Use a slower cutting speed.

Wood warps or bends after installation.

Ensure the wood is properly stored and acclimatised before use. Use appropriate fasteners and spacing.
