Please give me your opinions on the best oil stains out there for log homes?! We are getting ready to have ours redone and are looking for what is maybe the best product available out there now. Thanks! *************** "A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition." - Rudyard Kipling | ||

I use Transformation. Just redid the whole house last summer. Got nine years out of the last coat(s). ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

I do not have a log home but there are many in our area and I know a few people who own them. And as you would suspect we have many log home builders in our area as well. Most of the builders also offer a service to treat your home with a commercial grade treatment. They are using something above grade of what you are going to buy at Home Depot. Usually involves spraying on a cleaner first then pressure wash then final treatment. The service has a warranty but I'm not sure what that involves. The few people I know have gone to finding a builder to do this for them. Yes it costs some money but do you want to spend most of a summer going through this process to do it properly? I really wanted a log home at one time but it was mainly this reason I decided to go a different route. "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | |||

TWP 200 series in oil base: 200 SERIES TWP Natural Effect in waterbase (this is cutting edge technology in exterior wood) NATURAL EFFECT My company makes these, so I am a little partial, however I do believe these are very good products for your application. My tongue swore, but my mind was still unpledged. | |||

Dang, thos gives me flashbacks of coating our fence with linseed oil in a hot August day. Luckily I wasn't a smoker at 12yrs old. Practically like painting with motor oil.  | |||

We aren't doing this and we aren't worried about the price-just wanting it done! I'm not climbing around up on three stories... *************** "A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition." - Rudyard Kipling | |||

We used TWP oil on our redwood-siding coastal home (sadly no longer ours). _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||
