I have a 5 yr old home with log railings on the decks & stairs. They require resealing with Sikkens Cetol every year or so. I heard about someone who used clear silicone caulk spread on the logs by hand & has held up for 12 years & still looks new. ever heard of this & will it work?

Never heard of it and I do not recommend it. Silicone caulk will not adhere to wood and leaves a film that does not permit other products to adhere to the wood fiber. It will turn yellow and start peeling within 6 months. Silicone is designed to be used in the bathroom, not on wood.
