Blazed First & Painted Later
Blazed trees are painted after one growing season. If painted immediately after the trees are blazed, then the paint may not adhere to the tree as well due to the trees’ bleeding sap and the tree not given time to heal over. Depending on the outside temperature the sap may appear almost immediately after cutting into the tree causing the paint to flake when it dries over the running sap. Once the tree has had some time to heal the paint can adhere much better to the blazed portion of the tree and the sap will cease to run from the blazed area.
