I have several redwood 4x4's that need to be capped. Wife ordered solid copper pyramid caps but I am wondering whether I should seal them on the post with adhesive or just screw them on. I know that silicone is not friendly with copper but there are other adhesive options that I can use.
The question is whether the end grain will be better off by being sealed up or open so any condensation under the cap can dry out more easily. I am concerned especially because redwood is so sensitive to discoloration.
Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks,
David
