Stain Samples

Stain samples are necessary in order to get the right color for your next log home staining project.  Apply the stain sample on an inconspicuous section of your home that has been surface prepped with the method that you’ve selected after considering the longevity that you desire and the intensity of color. Use the same application method you plan to use on
your home. Apply the first coat as heavily as possible, and let it dry 4-24 hours. Apply the second coat heavily, let it dry, and then evaluate the color. Don’t allow the contractor to stain until you have thoroughly discussed and demonstrated the look you want. Show him the test section that you’ve approved for color. Don’t apply your log home stain to the entire home before you verify that you’re achieving the look you want.
