More Info

Cascade Application:

Check that the pigmented coat of Sashco's Capture Log Stain is firm and set. Dry time is 4–24 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
Thoroughly stir Cascade before application to clean, stained, exterior logs. Use a garden sprayer or airless paint sprayer to apply and brush out runs.
If the wood is very porous and the sheen on the logs is uneven after applying 1 coat of Cascade, multiple coats may be required for an even appearance.

*It is always good practice to try and protect logs as much as possible from exposure to moisture shortly after applying Cascade.

I have used Sashco products on log structures and wood sided structures for quit a few years now and they have worked very well for me. Clients have been very impressed with how long the finishes last and hold up to the weather. I will be ordering and using more Sashco products in the spring.

We love the Capture & Cascade

We love the Capture & Cascade wood Stain and other products. We bought a home with Wisconsin logs and will keep using this product which is still looking great on the House after 4 yrs and 5 months ago. Only touch up here and there due to harsh weather in mountain area (5000 ft elevation)
