Armor-Guard is a concentrated borate powder wood preservative that is effective at inhibiting wood rot and pests such as termite, wood boring beetles, and carpenter ants. Armor-Guard is fine grained and can be used in its powder form or dissolved fully into water and then applied by brush or spray to bare wood. Armor-Guard protects uninfested wood from wood decay and wood destroying insects. All wood surfaces should be clean before applying borate wood preservatives.
While your log or timber home is being constructed, the edges of crawl spaces, open stud wall cavities, and flooring where base cabinetry will be located will benefit from Armor-Guard treatment in powder form. The powder will stay in those locations long-term and kill cockroaches, carpenter ants, and other wood insects. Armor-Guard powder will still come in handy long after construction is completed as it can be sprinkled into checks and voids before they are sealed.
When Armor-Guard is dissolved into water it can be sprayed onto wood, controlling insect activity and wood decay by diffusing deep into the wood's fibers. Armor-Guard is a very low-toxicity alternative to highly volatile chemical pesticides that can be hazardous to both humans and pets.
(Armor-Guard is not available in Canada)
Cobra™ Rods are a way to spot treat decay prone areas such as log ends that are already coated with a finish.
Once inserted into damp or wet wood, a borate and copper complex in Cobra Rods dissolves and then spreads the active ingredients to the area surrounding the rod. This eliminates active decay fungi and helps prevent rot for 8 to 10 years.
Cobra Rods are 7/16" in diameter and are two inches in length. A 1/2" diameter drill bit is used for installation. The installation holes may be plugged with the accompanying plastic plugs or Energy Seal.
A typical six to eight inch round log end will require two 2” long Cobra Rods inserted within 4 inches of the butt end.

Mold on a log home or cabin is the precursor to decay and rot. Mold is not only unsightly, but it can lead to rotten logs that may need to be replaced. When added to a final coat of Lifeline Advance, Mildew-X (formerly Stay Clean) provides added protection against mold, mildew, and algae. Mildew-X is a mildewcide additive that is easily mixed into either a single gallon or 5-gallon pails. Mildew-X will not affect the color or performance of any Lifeline stain. Made from environmentally friendly materials, Mildew-X has no VOCs or harsh odors.
UV Boost is a concentrated water-based liquid stain additive that contains a new technology ultraviolet light inhibitor.
Some regions of the country such as the Southeast, Southwest and higher altitude areas are subject to high intensity sunlight. Over time the ultraviolet light in sunlight darkens the lignin component of wood.
When added to the first coat on bare wood of any Lifeline wood finish, UV Boost combines with the lignin to delay the wood beneath the stain from graying. Since the concentration of the active components differ, be sure to use the appropriate size for the amount of stain or finish you are using.
Log End Seal is a clear finish that is designed to protect exposed log ends from deterioration due to the elements. The end-grain of your logs are particularly vulnerable to checking and absorbing water, and can act like tiny straws, drawing excessive moisture into the wood. Log End Seal provides a durable, water-repellent barrier against sun, rain, snow and ice.
For use exclusively with Lifeline wood finishes.
One coat of Prelude Clear Wood Primer fills the pores of the wood and provides a surface that enables you to obtain a more uniform finish color over the entire home. Prelude is ideal for both interior and exterior wood surfaces.
Prelude Clear Wood Primer also contains UV Boost for added UV protection. Prelude is a primer and should never be used as a final finish.
For use exclusively with Lifeline wood finishes.
Lifeline Acrylic is a furniture grade clear coat for interior use. Lifeline Acrylic forms an attractive and durable protective film that adds sheen and makes cleaning wood surfaces a breeze. It can be applied onto Lifeline Interior or Prelude or directly over bare wood. Acrylic Gloss and Satin are an excellent finish for highlighting interior log walls, cabinets, paneling, timbers, trim, railings and other vertical wood surfaces. The resilient acrylic polymers in Acrylic Gloss and Satin help protect water-based stains, paints and sealers from abrasion, wear and water damage. The smooth finish provided by Acrylic Gloss or Satin makes woodwork easier to clean.

"Dear Rick,
I want to thank you and Tony H. so much for the way the two of you and Perma-Chink have handled the problems I've had with the chinking of my home in East Texas. Although there was some bubbling in the areas most exposed to the sun, there were also problems related to the thinner than recommended installation.
Notwithstanding the blame you and Perma-Chink could have laid on the installer, you chose instead to see to it that it was repaired properly. This says volumes about the integrity and compassion of you and Perma-Chink toward the satisfaction of their customers. It also says that you stand by your product 100%.
Please use me as a reference at any time regarding the character of Perma-Chink's management and the company's desire to completely satisfy it's customers. Thank you again."
