PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Log-Gevity Log Finish Coat is an oilbased, low VOC product designed as the second step in a two-step process for use on horizontal and vertical wood surfaces.

Log-Gevity Log Finish Coat consists of several essential wood protecting ingredients blended specifically to generate a strong adhesive bond with the Log-Gevity Log Stain & Stabilizer. It also reinforces the UV and moisture inhibiting attributes which maintain and protect the life of the finish, while providing the aesthetically appealing, natural looking, rich warm glow commonly associated with natural wood finishes.

Unlike many film forming finishes, Log- Gevity Log Finish Coat is breathable and will not crack or peel. Log-Gevity Log Finish Coat completes the solution to your log home care needs. Additional additives are not needed. Four UV inhibiting ingredients, including reflective metals, provide a resilient barrier that protects against damage caused by exposure to harsh climate conditions, wind and moisture erosion, and UV radiation.

Precautions: Read the entire material safety data sheet and product label for a more thorough evaluation of hazards. Fully protect all adjacent surfaces, as well as, general work area. When spraying near vegetation, cover plant life with cardboard or other suitable material in case of overspray.

Environmental Hazards: This product maybe toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water by disposal of equipment washwaters. Do not use on wood that will be in direct contact with soil.

FOR BEST RESULTS AND OPTIMAL PENETRATION: SURFACE MUST BE DRY DURING APPLICATION. BOTH SURFACE AND AIR TEMPERATURE MUST BE ABOVE 50°F. PROPER SURFACE PREPARATION

IF YOU HAVE NEW OR OLD, DIRTY OR WEATHERED LOGS/WOOD (Including sidewalls, decks, fences, dimensional lumber, roofs and most other log or wood structures.)

1. Clean logs/wood with Log-Gevity New Log Prep or other Log-Gevity product.

2. Apply a coat of Log-Gevity Log Stain & Stabilizer.

3. If color is desired, select from a wide variety of pre-mixed, ready-to-use Log- Gevity Stain & Stabilizer transparent and solid color stains.

   Note: Once the Log-Gevity Stain & Stabilizer is applied, your logs have sufficient protection for 12 months or longer before finish coat or chinking need to be applied.

4. Apply Log-Gevity End Grain Sealer to exposed log ends.

5. Apply a top coat of Log-Gevity Log Finish Coat.

6. Apply Log-Gevity Log Chinking anytime after the stabilizer or finish has been applied and cured.

For Decking: Once the Log-Gevity Log Stain & Stabilizer is applied, your wood has sufficient protection for 1-3 years. One coat of either stabilizer or finish coat is sufficient.

It is recommended to clean all surfaces with Log-Gevity Log Maintenance Wash on an annual basis (especially decking) or as needed and always before reapplication of *maintenance coat, such as Log-Gevity Log Stain & Stabilizer or Log-Gevity Log Finish Coat.

*Maintenance coat for decks is defined as a thin wiped on, smoothed out application and is great for rejuvenatingcolor!

Follow the complete Log-Gevity product specification sheets for detailed instructions.

IF YOU HAVE AN EXISTING COATING (i.e. FAILED FINISH)

1. Strip the previous coating with the recommended Log-Gevity Stripper. Note: Before beginning the overall stripping project, test panels should always be made on all elevations to conclude satisfactory performance and dwell time. Follow the complete Log- Gevity Stripper instructions.

2. Follow Steps 1-6 as stated above.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Mix Log-Gevity™ Log Finish Coat well before using. A test area should be performed before beginning overall project to determine the amount of Log-Gevity™Log Finish Coat the wood will absorb, dry time, log/wood porosity and total desired look.

1. Apply Log-Gevity™ Log Stain & Stabilizer with a low pressure (HVLP) sprayer. Work vigorously into all surfaces. If using a low pressure sprayer always back brush into surface.

2. After Log-Gevity™Log Stain & Stabilizer has flash dried, which may take 30 minutes or longer, top coat with Log- Gevity™ Log Finish Coat .

3. Apply the top coat of Log-Gevity™ Log Finish Coat with a brush or low pressure sprayer.

4. Apply as much Log-Gevity™ Log Finish Coat as the logs/wood will absorb.

5. To avoid runs and streaking, back brush product from surfaces before drying. Rough sawn logs/wood will generally absorb more product evenly; however, it will still require back brushing.

6. Keep a wet edge to avoid lap marks.

7. If the logs/wood can absorb more Log- Gevity™Log Finish Coat and extra protection or more depth of color is desired, apply a third coat at a later date.

Note: Using the Log-Gevity™ Log Finish Coat as the second step in a two-step system will yield the best results.

SHAKE ROOF / SIDEWALL SHINGLES APPLICATION

Before applying this product to shake roof surfaces make sure to use an OSHA approved safety harness to prevent slipping and falling from the roof surface. Roof surfaces can become extremely slippery during and just after the application of this product.

1. Apply Log-Gevity Stain & Stabilizer to cedar shake roofs with a low pressure sprayer (HVLP) or heavy nap roller. Saturate well.

2. Keep a wet edge to avoid lap marks.

3. After Log-Gevity Stain & Stabilizer has penetrated the surface and has cured, which may take seven days or longer, apply a top coat of Log-Gevity Log Finish Coat. Using the Log-Gevity Stain & Stabilizer as the first step of a two coat system will yield the best results. Note: If the shakes can absorb more Log-Gevity Log Finish Coat and extra protection or additional color depth is desired, apply a second coat of Log-Gevity Log Finish Coat at a later date.

   DRY TIME: Each wood surface may have different dry times due to wood porosity. It is recommended to allow at least 24 hours to dry.

   CLEAN UP: Use mineral spirits or dish detergent and water. Should Log-Gevity™ Log Finish Coat come in contact with surfaces such as glass, paint, metal, caulking or rubber, remove immediately with dish detergent. If a spill is dry, clean it with mineral spirits.

   STORAGE: Keep container closed when not in use. Store in cool place. This product should be kept out of reach of children and stored away from food.

   DISPOSAL: Do not reuse empty can. Wrap can and place in trash. Leaking or damaged containers should be placed in a plastic bag and discarded. Contact local, state, or federal agencies to ensure compliance of proper disposal methods and respective regulations.

   HELPFUL HINTS: For further protection, apply Log-Gevity™Log Stain & Stabilizer and Log-Gevity™ Log Finish Coat on all sides of the wood. If the application has to be interrupted, stop at a corner as opposed to the middle of the wall.
