M-Balm Epoxy Wood Hardener for Log Homes

Epoxy Wood Hardener

M-Balm epoxy liquid penetrates deeply into porous, deteriorated, dried-out or spongy wood, curing and hardening into a strong, water-resistant mass that includes both the original wood fibers and the epoxy mixture.

The more M-Balm used, the stronger the restored wood member will become. It consolidates the decayed area in preparation for use with E-Wood.

How to Repair Large Voids in Logs

Neglected log homes occasionally develop sections of logs that have medium or deep pockets of decayed wood that is either very soft, or loose and crumbly. If caught early enough, the pocket may be only a few inches across, but if the decay has been active for a while the pocket may extend a couple of feet or more along the length of the log.

What should I do if my log home is really dark or discolored?

Dark or discolored log homes can mean a couple of things. One is it’s dirty and a thorough cleaning will bring back the original look. Another is the wrong finish was applied and it’s covered in mold, mildew, and other stains. Restoration steps begin here.

Our contractor used the Strip-It product on the log home that we recently purchased. He used an airless sprayer and then pressure washed the home. It did a great job of removing the dark paint on it. Soon, we will be applying your Ultra-2 stain and Advance topcoat. We couldn’t be more pleased with how our project is going so far, so thank you Perma-Chink!

We received your samples of S-100 and Strip-It to try on our logs. Strip-It worked the best as our finish remover. We were able to leave it on overnight and we used a pressure washer to remove the old finish the next day. Now we are continuing the restoration process and are planning on using more products from Perma-Chink Systems.

–Roosevelt

I found this product to be fairly easy to work with. Our home had a couple of places where animals had chewed on the logs in the past, so we wanted to fill in those areas. We cleaned those areas up, then applied a little M-Balm, and then put the E-Wood right on top of it. We had to sand it down a little, but it does look pretty good so far. We are going to stain over it soon.

–Cecily

As a log home restoration company, E-Wood is used in many applications for restoration. We use it on broken or cracked wood, and fill in where knots have fallen out of pine boards. It is easy to use: Mix equal parts with your hands (use gloves), shape and apply to affected area. Let dry, sand and stain. It does not shrink or pull away. It is a good product: Thank you, Perma-Chink!
