House built in 1974, solid knot-free cedar lap siding. I paint one side a year and have for 27 years. I have this spot above the garage that has blistered, bubbling, etc. Looking for input on how to attack this prior to painting. I can scrap away the stuff that's not adhering but don't want a big "lake" left after I remove the loose stuff. Appreciate input on the best method to fix prior to prime and paint. Thanks, Attached File Attached File Attached File |

If correct it was likely capillary action pulling water up from the flashing below that board. Very well could be. I did re-caulk that several years back. May have been too late. I started prepping another side this week. Probably into Oct. before I hit this wall. |
