staining cedar

[gpope]

I have stained the 1 x 8 cedar lap siding on the exterior. Is there a product on the market that is the best for holding the transparent color for an extended amount of years. It seems these linseed oil products dry out pretty fast.

Thanks

If it's western red cedar, try the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association website: http://www.wrcla.org

I had some very specific questions that weren't addressed in their info on-line and emailed them. I got very good and prompt replies (from Paul Mackie, I believe).
