Wonder if this great guy still around?GOD BLESS HIM 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your time and patience to show us your technique . 🥇
getting ready to do my house thanks for the video even though it's 5yrs old now, appreciate it.
Very helpful video answered all my concerns I'm a plumber who bought a wooden house lol the man is a true professional 👍
Very professional I like the tips about not applying where you left it so it doesn't get to much stain in some areas, thanks !
Absolutely the Best instructional video‼️Thank you thank you!
Good video. Could you explain the detail steps to prep? Log wash - how and when, when/where do you caulk, when do you apply borate and the process, etc.
I am in a high-altitude/UV environment so my understanding is that the logs will need to be maintained every 3-5 years. What are the advantages/disadvantages of using the clear topcoat? I am concerned about the extra expense of removing the clear topcoat before applying the maintenance stain every 3-5 years.
Thank you! Well done video.
What type of logs are you staining? I am using ultra 7 Caramel and didn’t get that color! Ultra 7 is supposed to be a one coat.
What kind of prep work is involved before staining? Is there caulking to do?
i love cabins.
What was the stain type? Color? And name of sprayer please.
I just bought a house that I believe has this finish on the cedar siding and log railings. How would I go about putting on a maint. coat if I already have the clear coat?
Thank you sir. Excellent video
How often (under optimal conditions) do you need to restain and seal the siding?
hello there how you doing I'm a big fan of your videos and I'm thinking of building my own cabin already bought a piece of land how long you should let your logs to dry out this is a question that I have asked some people some of them they have Tommy a year 2 years some of them they have told me to take out the bark and I might equally you can start building Marlin is a Maine and I live in Florida I do not have a lot of time in my side to build what would you recommend?
What color stain r u using. It's nice.
hello! I first sand, then remove the dust, then I make an antiseptic for wood, and 2 layers of oil or paint, I apply with a brush! both a log and a board! I in Russia earn for 1 square meter of turnkey work, my consumables and tools, the customer buys only paint and sealant and antiseptic! his material and I take $ 10 per square for the whole complex. How much does this work cost you? I pay the workers $ 7 for work per 1 square meter !!! I will be grateful if you answer !!!
Thanks for the write-up.
What color is the lifeline ultra 7 stain you are using? Great informational video! Thanks!
Lifeline Ultra-7 Caramel, thank you for the compliment!
I notice below the window there were abrupt endings. I heard that should be feathered....
abrupt endings... you mean where the ends of two logs butt up against each other?
@@GB30505 Where logs butt up against each other, when staining, just treat it as 1 continuous log.
I think I'm not putting enough stain, it's hard to tell because you use a sprayer here and I'm using only a brush... and i am going over a previous finish where you are starting on bare wood.
How do you recommend applying the stain if you have white chinking between the logs?
Apply the stain to the wood as you normally would. Then purchase chinking paint in the color of your choice. Painting the chinking sounds like a daunting time consuming task. But it’s really not.
You have a lot of knowledge on how to do this. But if you did this on a hot day you would had gotten lap marks all over the place. Your idea of feathering it out is only thinning the coat and making it dry faster so when you get to the other side it's mostlikely already drying and will leave a lap mark. What you have to do is leave a wet edge, heavy wet so when you move your ladder to the other side of the log the edge will still be wet then you do a one brush feathering motion towards the wet section not away from it. Even though it's cold where you did this I'm pretty sure you still got some lap marks lol
did you apply the top coat right after the stain (same day)? or did you wait a few days for the stain to dry?
+Jenna Silva-Messer While the applicator does not remember in this case, the topcoat can be applied as soon as the color coat is completely dry and no longer tacky or wet to the touch. This can take 2-4 hours or longer depending upon the weather.
How would you remove stain from the siding if you don't like the color?
You would need to sand, media blast, or use a chemical stripper and a pressure washer.
Jeff do I have to put a stain on ? can I sand to the wood and just put on a clean coat or sealer ? like the look of unstained wood
I get this question a log. If you can see your wood, so can the sun.Generally the sun will go through the clearcoat and discolor the wood. There is no UV protection in any clear product. UV protection is achieved with pigment only.
@@jeffkyger1124 so clear coats put on cars now have the ability to protect the paint from the uv rays . Alot more expensive than just any clear coat though so you have to look for them at automotive body shop paint supply warehouses
Do you need to strip previous finishes off before restaining?
You can. Or you don't have to. It depends on the condition of the stain, the color,how much mold/mildew exist,etc. It also depends on your desired results.
Jeff how did you prep/clean the logs before the stain?
There are way too many options depending on what one's trying to accomplish ranging from rinsing off dust to chemically stripping off the existing stain.
Most cabin refinishers use a media blaster that knows what he's doing .
Do I need to sand anything?
It depends. Everything depends. Ive also sanded other houses as well. Keep in mind, a stain won't penetrate in wood as deep if it's first finely sanded. Jeff Kyger - Northwest Log Home Care
The house you were staining didn’t have any chinking. Is it applied after staining?
how many coats of stain recommended?
1-2 thin consistent Coats of Lifeline Ultra-7 depending on the roughness of the wood.
thank you
What size tip in your gun do you use to spray the stain site?
+Tommy Morgan We generally use tips between .x15 and .x17, the x would of course be a number as well. Double that first number to get your spray width.
Curious why you’re not wearing a mask? Does this have any kind of odor to it?
No mask ??
I would use a mask if I were to apply an oil based stain.
Always wear masks when spraying anything
@@FrankysPainting we just hold our breathe if the wind isn't blowing
why the heck even use a sprayer then....totally pointless if you're going to use a brush.
Because it's 10-15 times faster to spray then backbrush it then to apply it all with a brush.
You can tell this guy has never stained an entire house before, using each method. The sprayer is the delivery method and will also get into cracks and crevices that can be difficult with a brush alone. The brush is used to work the stain into the wood.
It’s not uncommon to apply 10 or more gallon in a days time. How long would it take to dip out 10 gal with a brush? That time and energy is saved by using an airless sprayer.
By far it’s sure not pointless!
You can always attach a big brush to an airless wand if you want to do everything in two strokes ?? I might have to attempt to do this this next season
Hmmm... I finally followed Ann's advice and took woodglut instructions. It's great for beginners and has some advanced stuff too.
