I have a new log home and will be stainging it myself. I have yet to find anyone with any product that they are completly happy with! I want to get the best coating possible and am not apposed to oil base products. Eveyone that has a latex base product is very unhappy, the oil base folks are OK with what they have used. Help! What do you recomend for eastern Oregon. Thanks.
I personally would not recommend oil based. Most will keep getting darker and darker with each maintenance coat. We have been using Perma Chink Life Line for over ten years and have had very good luck. The key to any stain is preparation and application. If both are not done properly nothing will hold up. Everything for log homes is latex based these days. Stick with that thought.
