Answer: Log-Gevity™ Stain & Stabilizer is fortified with both metallic UV inhibitors and zinc borates which prevent the process of ultraviolet radiation degradation and water repellants that prevent moisture intrusion. Note the photographs to the left that display a non-stabilized vs. stabilized log. For new logs, it is important to apply a stabilizer to help lessen stress cracks and voids caused by age and moisture intrusion. For restored logs, it is important to fill those cracks or voids with this oil-based penetrate such as Log-Gevity™ Stain & Stabilizer to prohibit further stress. Log-Gevity™ Stain & Stabilizer has all the necessary protection before, during and after the construction phase. No other pretreatments are required. After cleaning your logs, you may also use Log-Gevity™ Stain & Stabilizer to rejuvenate the color, especially if it has faded substantially from sun exposure. Using the stabilizer for color rejuvenation is an easier more cost effective solution.
Ultraviolet radiation may pass through the initial finish coat and degrades the cell structure that the finish needs to adhere to. Log-Gevity™ Stain & Stabilizer is also fortified with metallic UV inhibitors that prevents this process of ultraviolet radiation degradation
