- Cannot apply in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures
- Scheduling delays and weather dependency increase labor costs
Traditional System Failure Cycle: ❌ Peeling, Cracking, and Chipping Within 3-5 Years
- Complete stripping required before reapplication
- $15,000-$35,000 stripping and recoating costs every few years
- Expensive scaffolding and specialized removal equipment
- Thousands in ongoing maintenance throughout log home life
- Chemical strippers damage wood and surrounding landscape
