Ask Log Man: What can be done with chinking once it is done. Can it be changed? PS on 8/31/05

Log Man sez: Chinking is that caulk type material, usually lighter in color than the logs, that is used to fill those exterior and interior wall spaces between the logs. It is required with some log styles and a cosmetic option with other logs. We sell both style logs.

When chinking is required, it usually has insulation value. In most cases, the color can be changed with a chinking solution or the reapplication of another color. Chinking can also be left uncovered when the home is restained. This makes it about the same color as the logs.

Neat stuff you find while looking for something else
