How I Stain The Log Ends:
-
Use the Titan HVLP sprayer
-
Push it DEEP into the cracks and be sure to soak the stain in until it is totally
dripping wet
-
Leave it for 5 minutes and brush out.
-
Repeat this for each coat you apply to the logs
How Much Stain Do Apply On A Log Home?
I use approx. 30 gallons of stain per 1000 sq. ft of log home.
If you only brush the stain on you are not getting enough stain into
the logs. Brushing looks thirsty to me so its not even close to what
you can do with a HVLP (high volume low pressue) sprayer. These unit
is made for wood finishing. I soak and soak the logs until they
can take no more. I always brush out any excess stain that drips.
My log work is "drip free" (no sagging or runs). In the end the logs look
even and fantastic. They are preserved to best they can be and look fantastic.
