Textured Latex Paint for Perma-Chink Log Chinking

Chink-Paint is an elastomeric, textured coating for renewing or changing the color of chinking. This makes it ideal for giving a facelift to your home by brightening the appearance of old, dirty chinking or altering the color of existing chinking.

Chink-Paint’s elasticity enables it to expand and contract with Perma-Chink or Energy Seal without cracking or peeling.

Application Tech Tips

Chink Paint Vs. Chinking

A number of log home manufacturers offer squared log homes with cosmetic chink joints. Although some owners of these style homes ignore these cosmetic joints and just stain over them, others like the look of a chink style home which may be the reason that they bought the home in the first place. The question is when should you use Perma-Chink in these cosmetic joints versus using Chink Paint?

Chink Paint Application

Applying Chink Paint

When applying Chink Paint, the first step is to make sure the product is well mixed. Chink Paint, both Textured and Smooth, contain a blend of raw material ingredients that need to be uniformly dispersed to ensure proper color, adhesion and long term performance. Furthermore, Chink Paint Textured contains an aggregate to give it the similar textured appearance to Perma-Chink.

Chink Paint is best applied using a paint brush with about two to three inches of fairly stiff bristles. Keep a wet rag handy to wipe off any Chink Paint that may get on stained surfaces and clean-up with soap and water.

Sealants Reviews

What a cool product! I was very nervous to apply it by myself and I had a contractor lined up to give me a bid. Brad from the Redmond store gave me great instructions and I was able to chink my entire home! Easy product, no smell, no grease, no muss, no fuss.

Excellent products, easy to use, great tutorials, and extremely fast shipping!!! I decided to tackle sealing and refinishing my entire log home myself after getting quotes for over $30,000. It has taken months, but with a little work each week, it is nearly complete. Awesome company in my book!!!

There wasn’t much of a learning curve with Perma-Chink. I was able to apply it easily enough. I just put some on our cabin last week and it matches our 30-year-old chinking very well. The parts that I applied last year have dried solid. This is a great product. It doesn’t really have an odor. Next summer I am doing part of the interior.
