PineWood trim painting question.
Hello everyone,
A buddy and I just finished putting up new pine wood trim on my house this past Saturday and did not have the chance to paint it before hand.
The Weather the next day was ran and seems like it may ran all darn week.
It looks like it may have to wait till next weekend. I am a little worried that the wood will get all messed up if I leave it that long.
Any thoughts ?

It would have been best to prime the wood before installation, that way you can prime all the edges and in a controlled enviroment if need be.
All you can do now is wait for suitable conditions to apply your primer. 1 week shouldn't be a big deal. Latex primer while not as good as oil base might be a better option if the wood isn't completetely dry. If the nights are real cold be sure the latex would have plenty of drying time prior to 35` or lower temps.

I've never been fond of using a latex primer under oil base finish on exteriors but I'm aware that some paint manufactures claim it is ok to do so.
The oil base will be slow drying. Be sure to apply it early enough in the day so the dew won't affect it's sheen.
