Logs are in constant dynamic motion. That’s why there’s Log Builder, the sealant made for log structures. Stretches up to 500% of the original size, while still maintaining tenacious adhesion to the wood.
Since most logs move within the first few years after building due to moisture loss and shrinkage, it is crucial to start out caulking your log home using the right product. Log Builder stretches and compresses as logs move and stays elastic, ensuring that the elements and insects stay out of your log home for years to come.

Not textured, so dries smooth with a slight sheen
Paint and stain both adhere well to Log Builder. When staining, use the color closest to the finished stain look for an ideal match.
Stable through 5 freeze-thaw cycles. Okay to leave in your unheated garage overnight. Just thaw and use.

We talk a lot about high performance around here, but what the heck makes a sealant or caulk high performance?
A sealant or caulk should be flexible, elastic, and adhesive. Many sealants are flexible, adhesive, or elastic. It is the combination of all three together that leads to high performance, meaning durability and longevity you can trust.
We’re here to help see your project through to the end.

Conceal is lightly textured to blend in with woodgrain. It’s also available in 7 different colors that closely match the most popular stain colors. Because of the texture, it’s not quite a shiny as Log Builder. Log Builder is a traditional smooth acrylic sealant and is availabel in 3 wood-toned colors. It will depend on the look you want which product you use, but we can guarantee you excellent results, no matter which direction you go.
One the first go around, we recommend caulking very last, for a few reasons: 1) the stain acts as a “primer” for Log Builder, helping it to adhere to the joint better; 2) the stain provides an added barrier of protection behind the caulk, in case the crack or check opens up wide over time (which is part of the normal charm of a log homes); and 3) it’s best to match the caulk to the stain the first time around. When it’s time to do maintenance coats of stain, you can certainly apply the stain over top and it won’t cause any issues and will be a close match most of the time.
If you used Sashco’s stains and clear coats, that’s a resounding YES! If you used a brand that we don’t make, give a call to our friendly and cheery Customer Service Team. We’ve tested several brands out there and usually have a good idea on whether or not they’ll work together.
