ENERGY SEAL Log Caulk is created specifically to seal milled and scribed log homes. One application makes any log wall completely weather-tight. ENERGY SEAL has more adhesion and stretch than any other sealant you can buy and is long-lasting, UV-stable and chemical-resistant.

• Stretches and stays flexible.
• Won't crack or peel.
• Lightly textured appearance.
• Interior or exterior application.
  

HOW DOES ENERGY SEAL LOG HOME CAULK WORK?

ENERGY SEAL tools to a smooth, professional finish that virtually disappears into the walls after it's applied. And, it accepts the color of wood finishes and will perform in any climate.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING ENERGY SEAL?

• ENERGY SEAL can be used inside, outside or between logs, during stacking... even on tongue and groove systems.
• ENERGY SEAL has super elasticity and remains flexible without cracking or peeling.
• ENERGY SEAL can be used anywhere a caulking seal is required without the expected, unpleasant odor.
  

ENERGY SEAL IS EASY TO USE!

• ENERGY SEAL is easy to apply with a standard caulking gun.
• ENERGY SEAL requires only one application.
• ENERGY SEAL cleans up quickly and easily with soap and water.
• ENERGY SEAL skins over in less than two hours and cures fully in 2-8 weeks, depending on temperature and humidity.
  

ENERGY SEAL IS SAFE TO USE!

ENERGY SEAL is VOC compliant and meets all current federal air quality requirements.

HOW DO I APPLY ENERGY SEAL?

For best results, apply ENERGY SEAL in temperatures of 40-90 degrees Fahrenheit, out of direct sunlight.


LOG PREPARATION

Log area to be caulked must be clean, dry and free from loose or foreign materials. Do not apply to oily or glass smooth surfaces. Some paraffin based stains and sealants may cause adhesion problems (if in doubt, test small area for adhesion).

WORK TIPS

Wear old clothes and shoes. ENERGY SEAL is not easily removed from fabric. Always maintain a clean working area. Discard used rags, etc. in proper disposal containers. ENERGY SEAL that is allowed to dry completely cannot be easily removed. When ready to quit for the day, simply leave bag or gun containing material in a moderately warm place. The open ends of the bag or gun will form a "plug"; this will prevent the rest of the material from curing. When ready to begin again, simply squeeze the plug out, discard hardened material and continue. When reusing an open bucket of material, be sure to remove any partially cured "skin" before filling bag or gun.

CLEAN UP

Spills or runs must be cleaned up with water immediately. Once cured, it is extremely difficult to remove ENERGY SEAL completely.

APPLICATION CONDITIONS

Of all the field conditions that are normally encountered, temperature and humidity are largely responsible for log movement. When the temperature rises, the logs will expand, and at the coldest temperature, they will contract. When you apply sealant during cold, damp conditions the logs will more than likely be at the smallest dimensions (after some normal shrinkage may have occurred). Then when the weather dries out and warms up, the sealant will normally relax. Conversely, if you apply your sealant during hot, dry conditions, the joint will be at it's smallest point, and when temperatures fall or even turn very humid, the logs may contract and put the sealant in stress. Sometimes the contraction, or movement may be severe enough to tear the sealant.

TOOLING AND FINISHING OF JOINTS

All joints should be tooled by spraying a small amount of water onto the chinking and smooth to the desired finish. Always trowel in such a way as to form a good seal to the wood. Maintain a depth a little more than 1/4", as the material will shrink slightly when cured.

INTERIOR SEALANT WHEN STACKING LOGS

All logs should be clean and free of dirt, sawdust, and oil or grease. If gasket tape was supplied by home manufacturer, apply as per their instructions. Then, apply a 1/4" or 3/8" bead directly from the caulking gun. Continue this as logs go up.

EXTERIOR SEALANT in lieu of Chinking

The depth should be not less than 1/4" and no more than 1/2". To provide proper two-point adhesion, always use a backer rod or a "breaker" tape prior to the application. Apply ENERGY SEAL directly from the caulking gun, maintaining a 1/4" minimum depth across the joint.

AS A CAULK

Apply ENERGY SEAL directly from the caulking gun, any place a caulking seal is required... like around doors and windows, log intersections (butt joints), interior and exterior corners.

HOW DO I STORE ENERGY SEAL?

Store ENERGY SEAL at moderate temperatures, in a clean, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Do not allow the material to freeze. Also do not store in close proximity to radiant heat sources like fireplaces or wood stoves, as the excessive heat may cause the material to start curing in the bucket.
