| Conceal Textured Caulk in Redtone on Capture Red Cedar |
Conceal Textured Caulking for log homes delivers performance that's hard to see. Conceal Textured Caulking colors blend in with the most popular stains used on log homes, and Conceal´s light texture simulates the natural roughness of wood. The combination of color and texture makes it hard to see where the caulking ends and the logs begin. Instead, they just blend together. Although the caulking is hard to see, Conceal delivers performance. Additionally, Conceal Textured Caulking is excellent for filling and concealing log checks. Is resistant to rainfall in 1-4 hours. Has a limited lifetime warranty. Conceal has superior elongation, memory, and adhesion. Application Temperature: 40°-90°F. Clean-up: Soap and water. Made in the USA.
Fundamental Caulking Application Guidelines
• Proper substrate preparation and application are imperative for product longevity. Read this entire Info Sheet (CNL 002) before applying any product.
• Conceal is not a chinking and should be used in joints under 2” wide. If the joints are wider, we recommend Log Jam.
• Make certain there is compatibility between your stain and Conceal. We recommend Sashco’s Capture®/Cascade®, or Transformation® stains for exterior applications and Symphony® interior clear coat for beautiful long-term protection. Best results are obtained when Conceal is applied to clean, stained wood.
• Check the weather forecast. Finishing products are best applied in moderate weather conditions, i.e., out of direct sunlight, in dry, warm conditions.
• Check the surface temperature. It should be between 40˚-90˚F (4˚-32˚C).
• It is always best to use a bond breaker (usually backer rod) before caulking. Sashco strongly recommends the use of backer rod, especially if the home is new and/or the wood is subject to significant movement. If a bond breaker is not used, expect more caulking repairs.
• Tool Conceal to help ensure good contact with the wood surfaces. This will greatly aid adhesion.
• Ideal caulk depth is half of the joint width, but no less than 1/4” and no more than 1/2”.
• Assemble tools and equipment: - Backer rod - Caulking guns - Trowels, spatulas, or foam brushes for tooling - Clean water and rags - Plastic sheets to cover the caulking if wet weather moves in - Staple gun & staples (if necessary to help with backer rod installation)
