Where to buy Log Jam Chinking case

Make sure that you have read our measurement guide to make sure that you have the right nozzle size and thickness. Start by lubricating your tools with a silicone type spray. Then put nozzle end of the gun into the bucket of chinking and pull the activator rod. This will suck the chinking into your gun. When applying your chinking you will want to check with the manufacturer for the recommended thickness.

On average you want your thickness to be between 3/16” and 1/4" if it is to thick it will flake and if it is to thin it will break. Once you apply your chinking, use a foam brush or spatula to go over your chinking with smooth strokes in one direction. It is important to use plenty of water or a release agent. If you use a release agent, then be careful not to use too much as it will affect your chinking. Make sure that the chinking is adhering to the top and bottom really well.

Can you paint Log Jam Chinking?

Using a foam paint brush, paint pad or trowel (whichever you prefer), apply the chink paint and smooth onto the chink line. Clean off any drips or runs immediately so they don't dry on the wood and stain it. Allow to thoroughly dry. Cover exterior walls if rainfall is expected within 24 hours after application.
