If my son says they perform well and are reasonable to apply and if I paid a decent price. Getting all three of those is not always easy.

Paul what do you consider a decent price?
6-7 dollars or the red devil specials?

6 or 7 bucks? Is that for a whole case? You have to remember that our sealant is used by employees who smear it on their clothes, get

it all over the cages ( And then wonder why they don't work so well ) and seem to be really adept at getting it on and around the

door handles of their vehicles. So by now the tube is half empty and they throw it out and grab a new one. So yeah, for these guys,

even the Red Devil is too expensive.

I have. It all depends where though. I've also used foam so it will stain again. They make specialty latex products for log homes. I don't think they'd stain any better than silicone though. But they are a nice buttery color that stands out. That's what the client wanted though...

most of the specialty log home products are a polyurethane based product. I didn't think anyone was using latex or silicone on log homes anymore. there are so many products out there which are so much better. heck latex is barely good enough for a standard vinal sided home in my eyes. I can show you many homes ive done which were already "bat proofed" not very many years ago with silicone or latex caulk and its usually the same thing- mostly shriveled up turds is what I see.

I use Solar Seal, but want to find a similar product in plastic tubes that flows better. Forearms get tired using Solar Seal when the temps are lower:) Not talking on log homes do not have many of those in my area.

due to an unfortunate trailer incident today I was forced to clean out the trailer for the most part and reinstall my misdirected shelving unit. in doing so I remembered this post as I was putting things back and grabbed a few different types or sealant/caulk that I use.

here are some of the more common ones...




and then some of the guns used to apply it....




I use the three on the right the most as I tend to do more log homes than any other type of house.

I also use a product by Sashco called log builder. that stuff is awesome.

you also have to use a backer rod in conjunction with this stuff even if there is no gap.

if some of you are still using silicone or caulk on logs I would suggest getting in a seminar by one of the log home product suppliers- it will benefit you and your customers greatly!

Just call up any of the suppliers in your area and find out if they're doing any training seminars?

We do too; unfortunately we haven't found any yet. That's why we use clear silicone. It's hard to screw up clear.

I was just out at an old log cabin yesterday doing some work and took this picture. I sealed this 3 years ago with perma chink it sense obviously been stained but still holding up very well.

Good job, but it really makes me thankful that we rarely have to deal with log structures. ( They have invented stuff like brick,

aluminum siding, and a host of other materials for home building down here in southeast corner of the state. )

Nice work. How much of the building did you have
To chink? The whole thing or just part of it?

What Jacob said. I used to install gutters and used the Geocel 2300 for sealing end caps, miters, etc.; it's great for that, but would be useless for bat work. Very runny, stringy, and you'll be wearing half of every tube you apply.

Dave, I don't do the bat work but I do buy the caulk. I would say we use clear on most of it. I think we use clear so that the bats

can see their reflection and they get scared and fly away.
