What preparations are necessary before chinking?

Perma - Chink Systems, Inc. FAQ.
Chinking is best done after the application of your finishes. It is always best to use chinking and stain from the same manufacturer to assure they are compatible with one another. When preparing for chinking, you must have a clean working surface and proper backing material. The backing material must allow you to apply chinking to the proper width and depth. Call us and request our "Log Home Sealant Applicator Guide" for detailed instructions.

Microwave ovens are less friendly than the refrigerator; however, if used, select the lowest power setting to avoid cooking the outside while the inside thaws.

Can I apply your chinking over existing cementitious chinking?

Weatherall Company, Inc. - FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Ideally the cementitious chinking should be removed and replaced with one of our backer rodded systems. This will greatly improve the energy efficiency of the joint and provide the optimum joint design. However, if the cementitious chinking is in sound condition and free from any cracks or loose or crumbly surface conditions, our chinking can be applied over it as a seal coat.

How long will the chinking or caulking last?

Weatherall Company, Inc. - FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
We do not recommend it, but, in some cases, yes. It depends on how long the stain has been on the logs and how the stain has weathered. It depends on the type of oil stain and what ingredients are in the stain. We recommend that you test the chinking or caulking over an area that has been protected from the weather, such as under eaves. Allow 2 to 3 days for the chinking or caulking to cure. Then see if you can pull the chinking or caulking off of the stained surface.
