Mildew-X
Mildewcide Treatment for Log Homes
Mold on a log home or cabin is the precursor to decay and rot. Mold is not only unsightly. It leads to rotten logs that need replacing. When you add Mildewcide to a final coat of Lifeline Advance, you get added protection against mold, mildew, and algae.
Perma-Chink Systems’ Mildewcide additive mixes easily into a single gallon or 5-gallon pail. Mildew-X will not affect the color. Regardless of your selection, selected Lifeline stains will not diminish. It is an additional layer of defense without adding VOCs or harsh odors to the coating system.
Humid climates, heavily wooded properties, and areas where surfaces stay damp longer after rain often need extra attention. Harsh environments create ongoing challenges for exterior wood.
Available Mildewcide Additive Sizes
Mildew-X mixes into the selected finish. The correct size depends on the amount of Lifeline Advance necessary to complete the job. Containers are available for one and five-gallon pails.
It is easy to maintain the recommended mixing ratios. Select the version that matches the quantity of finish necessary for your project.

How to Store
Do not break the seal. When you are ready to mix, proceed. Store unused Mildewcide in a location protected from unpredictable temperatures. If multiple additive sizes are kept on hand, label them clearly.
How to Apply
Add Mildew-X to the final coat of Lifeline Advance before application. Mix thoroughly so the additive is distributed evenly throughout the finish. Once combined, follow the application instructions provided for Lifeline Advance and apply the coating as directed.
Maintenance
Save product information from the container for future maintenance coats. For additional finish work, use the same additive and mixing ratio. It will help maintain consistency across treated surfaces. Unopened containers should remain sealed until needed.
