Testimonial 

Ron Cameron has been a valuable asset to our company for years. His products have always performed as promised, and he has always been available for questions. Ron brings us great knowledge of products and procedures related to all kinds of finishes. I rarely call that I don’t speak to him immediately, and when I do leave a message it is promptly returned. Ron and Finishes 1st have been the preferred supplier for Jeremiah Johnson Log Homes and Anderson Custom Homes for years, and we see no end to this great relationship."

Product Description

Timber Set™ is specifically designed for use as an adhesive sealant between log courses during the stacking process. Timber Set is a flexible layer of protection that will seal out air, moisture and pests. Timber Set can be used either in conjunction with foam gasket systems or as a direct gasket replacement. Timber Set is a premium acrylic latex caulk with high adhesive strength that insures a permanent, flexible bond. Timber Set is for use on Swedish cope and all machined log profiles.

Product Features

  • excellent environmental barrier
  • improves energy efficiency of wall construction over foam tape alone
  • remains highly flexible and pliable which allows for normal log wall expansion and contraction
  • will not induce checking of wood like common construction adhesives
  • adheres permanently to wood surface
  • easy to apply and tool
  • advanced mildew and fungal inhibitors
  • paint-able and stainable
  • soap and water clean-up

Application Instructions

All surfaces to be sealed should be clean and free from any dirt, oils or other foreign materials. Surface temperature of the logs should be between 40°F and 95°F. Do not apply to surfaces that are frozen or covered with ice. Apply Timber Set according to your Log Home Manufacturer’s construction specifications.

Timber Set can be applied using a commercial pump, bulk loading caulking gun or standard gun. Please refer to your Log Home Manufacturer’s construction manual for bead size requirements and bead location for all joinery. Some Log Home Manufacturers require a double bead of sealant to be applied between mating surfaces. Always follow your Log Home Manufacturer’s instructions when using any product.

Timber Set is designed for use as an internal sealant but it can also be safely used in most areas of construction requiring an exposed sealant.
