surfaces with a tough, durable, urethane-like finish that enhances the

Application Tips:
LOG GUARD Interior Clear Coat can be easily applied by brush, airless sprayer or pump style garden sprayer. If spray application is used, back brushing is mandatory. If a color coat is desired you may apply a coat of UV GUARD Interior/Exterior Wood Finish before the LOG GUARD Interior Clear Coat. For best results wait 24 hours before applying your first coat of LOG GUARD Interior Clear Coat. Lightly sand between coats of LOG GUARD Interior Clear Coat with fine sandpaper. Make sure that all dust is removed from the wood surface prior to application of LOG GUARD Interior Clear Coat and between subsequent coats. Best results are achieved after 2-3 coats.

- How often do I need to restain my log home?
- A good stain should last between 2-3 years on the southern exposure of the home and 3-4 years on the other sides of the home.
- What is the difference between oil based stain and water based stain?
- Oil
based stains have a strong odor, are user friendly, produce a natural
looking finish and require the use of solvents during the clean-up
process. Water based stain products are environmentally friendly, odorless but
can be a little more difficult to apply.
- What steps should I take before staining my log home?
- 1.) Make sure your logs are clean and sound.
- 2.) Make sure the surface temperature of the logs are between 50-90 degrees.
- 3.) Make sure the weather forecast is dry for two days during the
staining process and dry for a two days after the staining process.
- 4.) Make sure the moisture content of the wood is below 20% prior to the staining process.
- 5.) Make sure that you don’t have any compatibility problems with any previously applied coatings.
- 6.) Read all of the application guidelines for the stain material that is being applied.
- 7.) Recommendation: Use a sprayer to flood the surface of the logs with
the stain material and then immediately back brush the stain into the
pores of the wood.
- Do your stains contain a mildewcide?
- Most stain products have a standard amount of mildewcide in
them. We recommend adding an additional mildewcide packet if you live
in an area that is prone to high humidity and high temperatures. We
sell a mildewcide additive called Stayclean I/E.
- Is the UV protection in the stain or clear coat?
- The stain has a combination of pigments and UV-absorbers while the clear coat only has UV-absorbers.
