      Sikkens. Ask at the paint dept. for the right formula to match your application. You’ll need a respirator capable of filtering organic vapors–this stuff is nasty, but so is just about anything else for treating logs.

      There are a lot of questions that need to be answered to determine what sealer will work the best and last the longest. A new home may not use the same products as a home that has been sealed before.You may need to remove whats on there now
