<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The surface of the cedar is smooth. It =

this area as WP-4 cedar siding. We chose it because it does not need =

<DIV><BR></DIV>Paul,
<P>Is the wood rough or smooth? The discoloration could be =
several
things like stuff dissolved in the water, or changes in the wood =
caused by
wetting. Wood cleaners seem to work by carrying finish stain =
from the
surrounding area into the affected area, but they also change the =
general
coloration so that you have to do a large area to keep it from =
standing
out. If the surface is smooth, I would do some light sanding =
first to
see if you could blend it. You may have to bite the bullet =
and put
a deck finish on it.
