Specialty Tools for Log Finishing
When it comes to finishing house logs, using the right tools ensures a smooth, dust-free finish. Here’s a look at the specialty tools and equipment that make a significant difference:
Flood Coating
This is how we apply stain, primer or paint to wood. We use a combination of airless and HVLP sprayers. The idea is to soak, saturate the wood with stain, paint or clear coat until the product is full. We do this in 3 stages around the log building

Log Home Staining - Timber Pro Coatings

This is a 3 coat process. Each coat is flood-coated, which means getting a log to soak as much stain as it will absorb per coat.
As the stain absorbs into the wood you back brush it out until there are no drips or sagging (until it looks even and absorbed). We do this three times around the building.
By the time you are on the 3rd coat, the wood is what we call “full” which means you no longer see any dry spots.
