When preparing for any phase of work on your wood home, remember a few simple principles:
- Carefully read all application instructions before you begin.
- Thoroughly clean all work surfaces. Choose your cleaners carefully. Contact Perma-Chink Systems for complete information.
- Apply products in moderate temperatures, out of direct sunlight.
- Allow all previous applications time to adequately dry before applying another coat.
- Better tools mean better results - don't skimp.
- Take your time and enjoy the process.
