Key notes regarding Embadecor Timber Stain

Embadecor Clear should not be solely used on externally weathered timbers as a minimum amount of pigments needs to be applied to the wood surface to give protection, The clear is more commonly used as either an undercoat for different colours of the embadecor to achieve a more even finish,.. Or as an undercoat for our Embalan paint.

If a log cabin is shut up regularly, is not ventilated, does not have a DPM then we also recommend the treatment of the inside of the building. It is always good practice to paint the inside of doors and windows to stabilise the timber in high and low relative humidity.

Three coats is advisable liberally applied, four coats is better. It is a good idea to treat the doors and windows inside and outside to stabilise the wood and guard against warping.

On log cabins three coats is recommended at least and pay special attention to all joints and liberally apply in these areas especially the corner joints, windows and doors. Of course it is best to treat the cabin prior to installation but we appreciate this is not always practical.
