Log Home Restoration: Quick Tip

Mid summer and “the heat is on.”   The warmer months are the better months to apply sealers. However, on hot sunny days, the side of a log home, or deck for that matter, can get very hot. Too hot to apply a finish. If the wood gets too hot the stain can ” flash” making the carrier of the stain evaporate to quickly. This will keep the finish from absorbing properly and therefore preform poorly. In these conditions, it is best to always work on the shady side of the log home.
