pressure treated fence staining dilemma

So we’ve recently installed a fence made of PT lumber. Normally I would wait several months before staining. However there is landscaping going in in front of the fence and I can’t wait to paint it. The fence has been in for 3-4 weeks. The “water test” had mixed results. Some soaks in, some doesn’t. Solutions? Someone told me that if I do a primer of Cabot’s problem solver primer it would allow me to stain (I’m using a solid color exterior stain) faster. Any suggestions out there? Help! submitted by /u/Wlmar1 [link] [comments]
