Smooth Latex Paint for Log Cabin Chinking
Chink-Paint Smooth is a highly elastomeric, non-textured, pure acrylic latex paint for renewing or changing the color of chinking.
The elasticity of Chink Paint Smooth enables it to expand and contract with the sealant without cracking or peeling.
This material makes it easy to complete the “facelift” process for your log home. Chink-Paint Smooth is ideal to use on your chink lines following a wood finish restoration. Simply wait for the stain to dry and apply a coat of Chink-Paint Smooth.

Chink Paint Application
lWhen applying Chink Paint, the first step is to make sure the product is well mixed. Chink Paint, both Textured and Smooth, contain a blend of raw material ingredients that need to be uniformly dispersed to ensure proper color, adhesion and long term performance. Furthermore, Chink Paint Textured contains an aggregate to give it the similar textured appearance to Perma-Chink.
Chink Paint is best applied using a paint brush with about two to three inches of fairly stiff bristles. Keep a wet rag handy to wipe off any Chink Paint that may get on stained surfaces and clean-up with soap and water.
