Log End Seal
Protect exposed End-Grain from the Elements
The end-grain of wood is particularly vulnerable to sun, rain, snow and ice, which can lead to excessive cracks and checks. End-grain can also act like tiny straws, drawing excessive moisture into the wood. Log End Seal provides a durable, water-repellant barrier against these problems before they occur.

Log End Seal Instructions
(Printer Friendly Version Here)
Log End Seal is designed to protect exposed log ends from deterioration due
to the elements. Sunlight, wind, rain, snow, and ice all play a role in
degrading wood surfaces. This is especially true for log ends where the end
grain is exposed and cracks and checks are prone to develop. Even if the ends
are coated with a quality stain, the exposed end grain of the wood acts like
small straws drawing water into the log. This gives rot and decay an opportunity
to start. If left unprotected, log or log corner replacement may eventually be
required.
Log End Seal is a clear finish that prevents water from penetrating into log
ends thus providing a layer of protection against sun, wind, and weather damage.
Application Tips
- Stir Log End Seal before use.
- Log End Seal is most easily applied with a paint pad although a short
bristled brush or trowel will also work.
- When first applied Log End Seal is milky but will become transparent as
it cures.
Application Instructions
1. Thoroughly sand all exposed log ends, taking care not to leave heavy
sanding marks or gouges.
2. Apply any Lifeline™ brand exterior stain to the entire home, including the
log ends.
3. When the Lifeline stain has dried, apply Log End Seal with a pad, brush or
trowel taking care to completely cover the exposed log end. Try to avoid leaving
brush marks or uncoated areas on the ends. Wipe off any excess that may have
worked its way onto the sides of the logs with a damp cloth.
4. Let the Log End Seal dry and finish with Lifeline Advance clear topcoat over
the entire home.
Clean-Up
Wash equipment and brushes with soap and warm water. Dried Log End Seal
may be removed with alcohol.
Storage
Do not allow Log End Seal to freeze.
