There are hybrid options that combine the properties of oil and water for better results. PREPARATIONS NEEDED A regular crucial step in this process is preparing log materials for refinishing. First, make sure that the wood be dry & before starting any steps. Typically, it is ideal to have moisture levels below 18 percent. This level ensures proper adherence. Next, remove dirt, pollen, or dust sediments from logs. These particles can create an uneven surface coating. It is better to use a pressure washer to clean them. The ideal temperature for refinishing is 90 degrees on regular days. Homeowners must avoid direct sunlight because it will cause blotches. STEPS INVOLVED 1. Contractors will start a staining process by testing products in an inconspicuous area. They can check the color and coating before proceeding to other steps. 2.
