1. Best results are obtained when Chinker's Edge is applied to clean, dry, stained wood. Make certain there is compatibility between your stain and Chinker's Edge. Call Sashco for guidance if in doubt.

2. Check the weather forecast. Finishing products are best applied in moderate weather conditions, i.e., out of direct sunlight, dry conditions and warm.

3. Check the log surface temperature. The ideal application range is between 50-90°F.

4. Install a bond breaker, either backer board or backer rod, depending on the style of log, to provide 2-point adhesion. Chinker's Edge is especially well suited for use on white styrene bead-board. We do not recommend the use of blue or pink styrene board.

5. If backer board is being used, tape the entire joint with either mylar or duct tape.

6. Gun the chinking over the backing material. Ideal sealant depth is 1/2 of the joint width, but no less than 1/4", nor more than 1/2".

7. Tool Chinker's Edge to ensure good contact with the log surfaces, especially to the upper log; this will greatly aid adhesion.

8. All chinking products may occasionally "blister".

Chinker's Edge makes your work go faster! It gives you the edge in tooling and clean up-savings as high as 20% in labor costs or application time. How can we make these claims? Professional chinkers, just like you, developed and tested the final formulation.
