Sanding Before Chinking
Manual sanding has allowed us to adapt new application methods for chinking that look and perform better. After sanding the wood surface is left smooth, this is important when chinking the interior of a home. The look and feel of walls can be greatly changed by using different colors of chinking contrasting or blending in to the color of the log wall, this gives you total versatility when refinishing your log home.  Also see:   Sanding Method
