Restore What Nature Destroyed

Bring old, damaged, gray, and weathered logs back to life with this flexible oil-based semi-transparent stain.

When it’s time to restore an eroded, failing stain, or if you need to maintain a coating that has lost its luster, remember one word, Transformation. Better yet, remember two words: Transformation Stain. Transformation Log and Timber Stain will transform the appearance of your exterior logs and exterior vertical woodwork from dull and lifeless to rich and brilliant – especially for older logs needing restoration. The stain that’s easy to remember because its name describes what you want and what it provides, Transformation!

Where to Use:

Exterior:

Log homes
Timber frame homes
Wood sided homes
Log & wood handrails
On wood with an unknown previous stain (after proper prep)

Where NOT to Use:

Interior wood surfaces
Walking surfaces, including decks, floors, and stairs
Furniture
Cabinetry

Ideal for restoration (and great on new builds, too)

No second-guessing about compatibility with previously-applied stains and clear coats. Even if you don’t know what’s on your wood now, Transformation Log & Timber will work when the surface is properly prepped.

Showcases the wood grain

Beautiful glossy finish penetrates to highlight the grain of the wood.

No lap lines

Longer working time means no lap lines. Just consistent beauty.

Compatible with all Sashco chinking and caulking products

Wondering if your sealants will stick so they can seal? They will.

How long does it take Transformation Log and Timber Stain to dry?

Anywhere from 12 – 36 hours, depending on your temperature and humidity. In areas of high humidity (50% or higher), it will take a full 24 hours for a coat to dry. In dry desert areas, like the Colorado mountains, 12 hours may be enough. Always make sure the first coat is thoroughly dry before applying the second coat to ensure even coverage, proper color and sheen build, and beautiful results.

Is Transformation Log & Timber a deep-penetrating stain?

“Deep penetrating” and “penetrating” are buzz words in the stain industry. Yes, Transformation Log & Timber penetrates. It is not like a non-drying oil (like most common deck stains) where it leaves a waxy, oily film on the surface and then burns off over time. It penetrates into the wood to bond with the wood fibers to create a flexible-yet-tough film that keeps out bugs, moisture and UV – all of which degrade your wood over time.

Are oil-based products going to be regulated out of existence?

Well, not anytime soon. They still make up 80% of the market globally and are still the best choice for surfaces that have had an oil-based product on them previously. Oil-based products are used in a vast array of applications outside of just wood, so it’s safe to say they’re sticking around for a while.

When do I need to apply a maintenance coat of Transformation Log & Timber? What color should I use for maintenance?

Transformation Log & Timber should be maintained where needed, when needed. On the south and west walls, that could be every 2-4 years. On the north and east walls, it could be longer. Keep your eye on them. When you start to see fading or a loss of sheen, it’s time to do maintenance. Simply do a light power wash of the surface to remove dirt, pollen, etc., allow the surface to dry, and apply a new coat. Over Natural and Brown Tone Light, use more of that same color. Over all other colors, you can use Gold Tone Light to refresh the protection without making the color darker.

Is there mildewcide in your stain? What about algaecide?

Yes. In fact, we add both a mildewcide AND are the only Log home stain manufacturer to put algaecide in our products. In areas of high humidity, we do recommend additional mildewcide to help give extra protection. Sashco has tested and recommends M-1 for this job.
