Finishes
New for 2022- Outlast Q8 Log Oil
Outlast® Q8 Log Oil is one coat oil based product that is a EPA registered wood preservative designed to protect against mold, mildew,rot and insects (termites, powder post beetles) on log homes, wood siding, decks, and furniture. It provides maximum water repellency.
Disease and rot resistant
White Cedar is rot resistant.
First off, White Cedar does not need to be finished to last longer or preserve the wood. Cedar will turn soft grey if no finish is applied.
What not to use.
Don't use Linseed or Tung Oil
We have learned the hard way not to use any finish made with either Tung oil or Linseed oil. Both will turn black in a short amount of time. So many brands that I could name!
Paint on Cedar
Paint Works
Use white shellac on the knots then apply a high quality primer and you're ready for your final color. Painted chairs look great, but you know the drill with paint. 4-7 years out and you'll need to scrape, prime and resurface.
