- We have chinked many log homes over the years using all techniques, machines and products. We made this video to share with you what we have learned and what we prefer. The log home in the video was restored using walnut shell blasting-sanding-staining restoration process with Sashco Capture in Bronze Pine color.

Jen manufacturing brushes can be found on Amazon. We buy the 1" and 2" brushes.
The air assisted bulk loading gun is an Albion 29oz Teflon coated gun. We now use an electric bulk loading gun that can be found on Albion's website. We now use the Albion electric guns.
The loading machine is called a bulk loading machine. I really like using these machines vs the follow plates.
Products I like to use are Sashco Log Jam or Permachink. Both have their benefits, but for all intents and purposes they are the same. Most of the time with our clients it comes down to color selection.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or advice needed on your project, we would be happy to help.
Please contact us if you have any questions. - Jak na to + styl
We absolutely love this video.
Learned a lot. Love the foam brush idea!👊🏾
Super helpful. Im about to refinish a very weathered log home in Moab, Utah. The chinking is very old, and loose in a lot of spots. This video rally helps. Thanks! 👍
really good video for a newbie/diy log home owner! enjoyed is and you did nice work!
Travis. Nice work on the Big Elk Guard Station. Your service was top notch and professional. Thank you very much. ~ Rich
Seebgvg that's v be x bb bb rtx😢tok😮 ree mb 🎉💕😘😅
Awesome video! I've done a fair amount of chinking myself and learned a lot from this video. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge on what works best for you guys!
Thanks a ton!! The heart of the advice is don’t make it concave or convex, make it flat, and make the line width even. That is the heart of making a good line. As simple as that sounds, it takes a lot of practice. Thanks again!!
Great instruction with the skill to match👍
Well done.

-keeps working lol
i really liked this
Perfect job !!
Jack of all trades, Master of none
get a job douchebag
I'm working on a log home built in the late 1980's. Is it true that I won't need backer rod? The joints are all pretty tight. Should I remove the old caulk first? Great video, thanks.
That tube don't last long by the looks of it . Constant refill . What do you think of the bulk loader ?
Seems very time consuming but very nice job. Would like to see this home upon completion of the chinking. Sure it looks nice. Thank you for the video.
Hey! How much will this sealing (warm seam) and grinding the log first, dust it, then cover it with an antiseptic and cover 2 layers with oil? can you write what and how much? Thank you very much it is very interesting !!! and cash payment to your hands or through the bank to your company?
Why is there spray foam in the checks of the log cut ends?

do you use backer rod?
Do you have a link to where you got the bulk loading machine from?
I can see the ease of use advantage with the foam over using backer rod, but do you know cost per foot? Is one more than the other?
I am not sure on the cost per foot difference. The cans are about $12 at Home Depot and go a long ways.
Nice job, really good content. Maybe be careful of turning away from camera because it makes it hard to hear you. Otherwise nicely done, very good instruction, and advise from a obvious professional.
Great video! Do you sell those custom nozzles?
Bonjour ,vous avez du bon matériels ,en France quand on a une tendinite,on peut pas travailler avec le pistolet manuel ,du coup je fais comme en pâtisserie 🥮😁bravo 👍🏻
Sounds like Darth Vader is filming! 😳
Having an asthma attack!
Does the film guy weight 600#?
What is that material made off ??
I didnt see it at end of video, but I was curious if you guys put some chinking over the spray foam so it has a uniform look and feel to the rest of the lines? Would that be okay or does it trap the foam and cause some other problems?
Yes we chink over the foam. The foam acts as a backer material. No problems with moisture
Hi. Thanks for the video. Did you say not chink a new home?
ours right now looks like a yellow nightmare foam spray my dad did, then he got sick and has been in hospital last two weeks
Very helpful. Doesn’t that foam expand far beyond the area you are sealing? Do you need to cut it back after it expands? Also once the foam sets up, do you use the chinking caulk (or whatever the proper name is) on top of the foam?
Thanks for the video.
We use the low expanding window and door foam. Trick is to not let it expand out and to tamp it down while still pliable, no cutting it back needed. Once foam is set up, we use the chinking over the top.
Great video..... but the gentleman filming might want to see a doctor when your just standing idle and need to breath that heavy could mean he has heart problems. Stay safe kiddos.... pays to be observant.
I’m watching you work and I’m hearing the guy breathing. He’s holding a camera harder than what you doing? Lol lol
I’m a caulker in Boston. I’m assuming you could also use a bulk set up on a battery operated bulk caulking gun. Seems like it’d be a little less cumbersome and we also dry tool using Marshalltown slickers. I’m assuming this is a latex product? I suppose they’re different ways of chinking 🤷🏻♂️ as I’ve never done it. Great video though. Really interesting and quality craftsmanship 👍🏻
What’s the difference between caulking and chinking? Isn’t it the same?
@@sanyaod I’ve never done chinking so I don’t know but it certainly looks the same with the same methods and goals
We have recently switched over to the electric guns from the air ones in the video. I'll post a new video up some day.
I was told not to use spray foam in the gaps between logs cause it gives of a gas and makes the chinking bubble. Have you encountered this?
We've encountered plenty of blisters or bubbles but they're usually from gas expansion of the water vapor trapped in the chinking when it heats too quickly, as in direct sunlight. That's our going theory at least....I've heard lots of explanations. Permachinks current formula blisters much more easily than sashco.
Madrona Log Home Repair & Care Iam using Log Jam by Sashco.
What is that material in that gun called you are using? Can I get it at building supply stores?
Sashco Log Jam. You can buy it at The Log Home Store online. Local building supply stores are unlikely to carry it.
@@tbird267 thanks
I like the potential cost savings of these bulk loaders over the 29oz tubes, but how do you load when you are 20 feet up on scaffolding?
rope it down to your help :)
We drag the machine up onto scaffolding. Personally it I find it easier than tying off that big bulky hose off the chinking machine to the scaffolding. Nothing beats the portability of 29oz tubes up on scaffolding though, may be a good option if there isn't a whole lot. With the tubes you can't lay as good of a bead however since there aren't any custom ribbon style tips.
@@tbird267 I ended up chinking my 20x40 2 level log house awith 29oz tubes and basic guns from Home Depot. It wasn't bad at all. Between the pace I was going and the fact that I could cut the nozzle tip to flow more easily, I never had hand or forearm issues. If this was a business for me, I would look into the bulk loaders and caulk savings, although, my next log house is going to be flat wood instead of round and mortar instead of synthetic. It is also going to be smaller. This house is about 1600 sqft and I could be happy in about half that.
what would the cost be doing it yourself
Depends on the bead size and how big the logs are (how many lines there are) but buckets run about $250/five gallons, so roughly 2-3k in material on average.
Interested to know where I can get a bulk loading machine like that. Anyone?!

Guy filming sounds like he needs to get a Dr. Checkup.
The guy filming is driving me nuts by the breathing. My God man your not taking a picture. Take the phone from your face. You sound like a 300 pounder.
Why do people build these round log homes? So fugly. Traditional hewn logs are so much more beautiful and easier to maintain.
I've always liked round logs better although I agree the hewn log homes tend to look cleaner. I was thinking the hewn logs became a status symbol due to the extra work involved to square a log back before mills and chainsaws. I'd built a small cabin a few years ago and couldn't imagine adding the extra work to the process.
Sprayfoam...! That's a terrible synthetic product! It attracts moist🙈 Its a log home - use natural materials 🤞
The foam does not wick moisture and is fine to use.

As an Asian American I am offended by the title of this video!
The term 'chinking" and "chink" are several hundred years older than the slur, snowflake.
How much does it cost to chink a cabin. Average range
They aint logs mate, they are tree trunks lol.
Modern 'log' homes are actually square flat cut nowadays so dont need much chinkage :)
