instructions. After initial application of your wood preservative, wait at least 30
days before attempting to caulk any missed areas.
Interior Wood Preservative Application
DIY also provides a quality interor wood preservative. Woodguard ITF
TM
is a
clear, water based, low luster, satin sheen finish designed to highlight the wood
grain, and protect against water and sun damage. Your package contains enough
interior wood preservative to finish the log wall interior of your home.
Log walls should be cleaned, caulked (if applicable), and prepared, prior to the
application of the interior finish. A clean, dry surface is required for optimum
beauty and mildew resistance. The transparent finish can be tinted with universal
or water-based pigments by qualified paint store personel. It is recommended that
the interior finish be applied within the same time frames listed in the exterior
wood preservative section.
Additional Suggestions
Cleaning your logs will remove mold and mildew, but it can come back within a
few days. Prepare and plan your schedule accordingly. Your wood preservative
will control FUTURE mold and mildew.
If you are building in a high humidity area (under a heavy canopy of trees, near a
body of water, etc.) and are having trouble staying ahead of the mildew, you can
add a mildew booster to your wood preservative. ADD-2™ and M-1™ are
recommended and are available at most hardware or paint stores. Future wood
preservative treatments should not need additional “booster”. The preservative
soaks into your logs and will be present deep in the cellulose after your next
scheduled maintenance treatment. (See section 8 on Maintenance)
Your exterior wood preservative can be tinted to a wide range of natural wood
tone colors. All DIY homes are provided with Honey 2000, which is a standard
honey type color.
Congratulations! This completes the exterior of your DIY Log Cabin!
