Cedar Bleeding Question ?
Hello:
For a house that has siding painted with a white latex paint that is experiencing "some" bleeding by the Cedar siding:
Is there any paint that is a combination of primer and paint that if now applied would prevent any additional bleeding ? Guess it would also have to be latex-true?
How do folks handle a problem like this generally, now that the house is already
painted ?
Thank you,
B.

Generally I would think a stain-blocking exterior oil primer would do the trick nicely, with a quality latex top-coat. While you don't want to put latex paint on top of an oil finish coat without substantial prep, I don't think you have the same problems with oil primers.
If the idea of any oil-based anything on the house makes you nervous, you could try a latex stain-blocking primer like SW ProBlock, but they are not as effective as their oil-base cousins.

Generally I prefer to not use any oil base paint/primer over fresh latex but using a solvent primer is the only way to insure that the stain is blocked.
Did you not reprime the new cedar?
