You need to stick with what you have used, but it probably will not last long again. It sounds like you have been using an plant oil based stain (linseed, safflower, sunflower, etc.). If you want to go to Sikken’s I would highly recommend stripping the house back to bare wood by corn cob or glass blasting it first. You should Osborn brush it after blasting prior to staining. Sikken’s is a very finicky stain for having the logs prepared properly or it will peel quickly.
