Log Home Restoration: The Importance of Neutralizing
Before and After Neutralizing
Stripping removes failing sealer or grayed out wood but, it also raises the ph level and darkens the wood as well as leaves residue that will not rinse out. If the wood is not neutralized the darkened wood will make a semi-transparent stain several shades darker. Moreover, stripper residue WILL interact with the new sealer causing premature failure. It is one extra step but, if ignored big problems will arise!
In this log home restoration, the left door has had nothing done to it yet, The right side was stripped and still wet from the neutralizer. When it dries, it is properly prepared and ready for sealing.
