So you own a log home or cabin but the color is very daunting, over the years you’ve always been told the only way to change the color of the existing color is to remove the current finish with a chemical striper, or other means of time consuming and labor intensive processes. “ Nothing could further from the truth “ says Matt Jaworski of Jaworski Coatings. A new groundbreaking revolutionary process has been developed in order for log home designers and refinishers to apply a new simplified color scheme throughout the interior of any log home siding.
First off decide on a color of stain you ultimately desire, by picking out a graining base color and a gel stain topcoat color. After you decide your color prep the log home surfaces by sanding lightly and washing to remove oils and or grease. After all areas have been prepared apply a consistent coat of the graining base apply the product as if you where painting the siding. After the graining base is complete the next step is to apply the gel stain by using an ox hair paint brush and by dry brushing the stain onto the surface graining tool may be required to achieve wood grain. After you achieve the look you desire seal the surface with a sanding sealer and apply 2 or 3 coats of varnish.
