My log home has Sikkens stain on it. I am ready to restain the home. What is the difference between Sikkens Cetol Log & Siding and Sikkens SRD. I am considering using one of these two. Do I need to apply a borate product on the logs before staining? Thanks for your help.

First, you cannot apply a borate unless you have bare, unstainedwood, so don’t waste the money.
If you have the old Sikkens Cetol 1 & Cetol 23 stain on your house now, you should use Cetol Log & Siding. If the original stain was the Sikkens SRD, then I would use that product. You should ask a Sikkens dealer formore application advice if possible
