Application Tips:
A sealing coat (clear or color) of Lifeline Interior (UV BOOST is highly recommended) increases coverage for Acrylic Gloss/Satin. Apply an initial coat of Acrylic Gloss or Acrylic Satin to sealed wood. Brush out runs immediately. If additional coats are desired, allow previous applications to completely dry between coats. Lightly scuff surface between coats with 180 grit sandpaper or screen to assure proper adhesion. Do not use steel wool or a wire brush because residues can cause rust stains in your finish.

- 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.
