How to Apply Caulking to Your Home

Weather-proof your log cabin for a worry-free vacation. Snuggle close to the fire, enjoy a good read, and have a warm cuppa even if heavy rain, snow, and sleet are just outside your door.

Log Jam Chinking is a revolutionary product in log caulking. It is a fact that time and harsh weather conditions make the logs on the wall to shift and leave gaps. Imagine what horror it is to have the draft come in? Not only that, gaping holes also invite pests.

Luckily, an elastic chink like Log Jam Chinking saves family vacations. This mortar-like chinking fills in gaps created by log shifting or by inserting spacer blocks to keep the logs apart. Apply log sealants in your home’s exterior and interior walling for protection and insulation.

Unlike traditional mortar caulking materials made of clay and lime mixtures, Long Jam Chinking is acrylic-based so it can flexibly move along with the logs as they shift. Of course, Log Jam Chinking is texturized so it will look like the traditional mortar. This elastic sealant can be painted over, too.

Old chinking gets brittle over time. But with Log Jam’s new technology, you can spend little time in restoring your cabin and spend more quality time with your loved ones.

All log vacation homes need to be caulked time to time. New log homes – whether they are handmade or pre-fabricated – needs caulking, as well. You can easily apply Log Jam Chinking using plastic trowels and foam brushes. Just spray some water or alcohol mixture on the chinking’s surface before you apply it on the log wall.

Log Jam Chinking’s hassle-free feature does not stop there. In case you get your hands or work area messy with the elastic sealant, all you have to do is to wash it with soap and water. It easily rubs off if it dries completely on your skin. If the sealant is allowed on the wall or floor overnight, you might have to scrape it off or cut it.
