Smooth Latex Paint for Log Cabin Chinking

Smooth Latex Paint for Perma-Chink Log 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.

What a cool product! I was very nervous to apply it by myself and I had a contractor lined up to give me a bid. Brad from the Redmond store gave me great instructions and I was able to chink my entire home! Easy product, no smell, no grease, no muss, no fuss.

Excellent products, easy to use, great tutorials, and extremely fast shipping!!! I decided to tackle sealing and refinishing my entire log home myself after getting quotes for over $30,000. It has taken months, but with a little work each week, it is nearly complete. Awesome company in my book!!!

There wasn’t much of a learning curve with Perma-Chink. I was able to apply it easily enough. I just put some on our cabin last week and it matches our 30-year-old chinking very well. The parts that I applied last year have dried solid. This is a great product. It doesn’t really have an odor. Next summer I am doing part of the interior.
