I have been asked to refinish a log home I have concluded that Q8 log oil is my best option, (early 70’s log home)other than Manufacturer suggestions on prep I.E. cleaning is there something I should use in the spaces between the logs on the exterior chinking, caulking, anything?

Depends on the size of the chink line. 3/4” or less use Energy Seal, anything larger use Perma Chink. If this ‘Q8 Log Oil” has linseed oil in it I would try to talk you out of using it. If you are planning on power washing and then using an oil stain it will need to dry for an extended period of time. Like a month if you are hitting it hard with the P washer.
