CharisB replied to mary mulcahy's discussion silkaflex"Sorry for the late response.
I can't make a judgment call about who is responsible. It may be that the builder applied it correctly and the logs went through some abnormal movement, which is something neither of you are responsible…"
mary mulcahy replied to mary mulcahy's discussion silkaflex"thank you for your rapid reply. Do you agree this was the builders responsibility to correct this as we were literally lied to?"
CharisB replied to mary mulcahy's discussion silkaflex"Mary -
"Mechanically" simply refers to having to remove it by hand - usually with razor blades or the wallpaper scrapers (which you described above). The product is not meant to be removed easily once cured, hence the work…"

Has anyone had a problem with silkaflex caulk removal after it has cured? My builder left silkaflex oozing out of many logs and smeared on several logs. When we did the walk through with the contractor and asked how to remove it, his reply was "just get some acetone, a plastic spoon, a wallpaper scrapper and it will remove it easily. My partner and I have spent the last two week ends (at great expense with hotel/gas we live 100 miles away from the cabin) using exacto knives to try and remove…See More

Robert P. Hajdani replied to mary mulcahy's discussion stains and staining with a sprayer"Where are you located? I need to seal and stain my home and I'm looking for quotes. I am in the south suburbs of Chicago."
See Dirt Run! Inc. replied to mary mulcahy's discussion stains and staining with a sprayer"We apply Perma-Chink products regularly and have seen firsthand how durable they are. We have removed Woodguard regularly from homes where the owners were unhappy. That has been our experience. We do not sell products, we install a variety of them,…"
See Dirt Run! Inc. replied to mary mulcahy's discussion borate treatment for logs and log wash"We use Perma-Chink product quite a bit. The log wash is a wonderful product, and the Borate is a must for any log home owner, but I will say that the one worth spending the money on is the Shell Guard RTU.
Borate helps to prevent against rot,…"
Robert P. Hajdani replied to mary mulcahy's discussion stains and staining with a sprayer"I am new and I'm interested in this topic as well! How about "Woodguard"??"
LHD Finishing replied to mary mulcahy's discussion borate treatment for logs and log wash"Log wash is an awsome product......very effective. The borate treatment would be a "your call." You don't need it....but why skip it? Following the steps that Permachink recommends will only lead to a better finished product.

Steve Joyce replied to mary mulcahy's discussion stains and staining with a sprayer"We sprayed our cabin outselves with Perma-Chink products with good results.

CharisB replied to mary mulcahy's discussion stains and staining with a sprayer"I'll leave the discussion about best stains to others - I'm biased. Permachink has good products, so I would certainly consider them.
They type of sprayer isn't as big a deal as the size of the nozzle. A larger fan…"
