We are renovating a house that we have exposed an interior log wall. Appears to possible be cottonwood (we live in the Midwest close to Missouri River). We have sanded the wall and now looking at staining (just to add some color) to the wood they coat it and then chink it. Is this the proper process and should we use Polyurethane or Lacquer to cover the wood? Will chink have a problem if we coat the wood first? Thanks in advance!!
Yes this is the proper procedure. If you want to just have a more natural look apply one coat of ”Prelude” primer from Perma Chink then apply a couple of coats of Interior Acrylic Gloss or Satin. If you want more color apply one coat of Life Line Interior stain then the Acrylic. DO NOT use Polyurethane or Lacquer. The chinking will stick to the finish.
