Warranty: Limited Lifetime

Description:
Conceal textured caulking offers easy application and blends exceptionally well with your wood. Additionally, it is more elastic and forms a stronger bond than most other caulking materials. Conceal can be used around doors and windows, in the cracks of your wood or during the log stacking process. Finally, no other caulking can match the same combination of performance and ease of application.

Caulking Application Tips:

1. Start with dry logs. Their moisture content should be below 20%.
2. Apply log stains before installing the caulking material.
3. Clean your logs prior to applying any caulking material. Any loose debris, dirt, dust or grease could adversely affect the adhesion of your chinking.
4. Install backer rod before applying any log home caulking products. Backer rod is available in closed cell and open cell forms.
5. Select a caulking material that is going to be compatible with your log home stain. If you are unsure about the compatibility of your log caulking and your log home stain then speak with the manufacturers of both products.
6. Do not apply caulking in direct sunlight. This could lead to blisters in the material.
7. Apply 2 to 3 feet of material at a time and then work the material with a foam brush or trowel.
8. Use a spray bottle to mist the caulking if it dries too quickly.
9. Clean as you go. Soap and water can be used if the material has not dried.
10. Caulking should not be installed to a depth greater than 1/4”.
11. Avoid caulking in the rain or when rain is imminent.
12. Caulking should not be applied when temperatures are below 40° or when subfreezing temperatures are expected within 48 hours of application.

What is the difference between chinking and caulking materials?

Chinking is an elastic sealing material that has a coarse surface which is designed to look like old-fashioned mortar and is typically used on larger joints. Caulking is a highly elastic sealing material that has no surface texture and is mainly used in smaller joints.

Compatibility
Conceal will adhere to woods treated with most preservatives including borates**, pentachlorophenol, and copper compounds.
