Can you let me know the brand of the sealer ? Is it similar to the isoflex roofing . Sounds like a good idea to use some kind of sealer prior , I've been wondering on if i need to put something on before i paint on colour . I have seen the paint brand from B+Q , Velspar ( American apparently ).vids said:northwest said:
its had 2 coats of some very expensive liquid rubber sealantand its due 2 coats of a colour light blue sadolin im so bored painting it
I had to do a double take on the pics with what is hanging on the joystick ..... First i thought it was a pair of kecks !!! I thought "whats he been doing in there ?" ... Yes it's a hat.
The product is called carefree protect I got it from a company called tuin have a look on the Web they also sell log cabins and other stuff
for me I want it to last so thought it was a good idea to seal twice and paint twice sadolin is supposed to be good for upto 8 years we will see though I do intend to paint it maybe every 3, 4 years

Used the clear protect sealant inside one coat just finishing it off, outside had 2 coats and is now having 1st coat of a light blue sadolin paint .
I hate painting it oh and have been fiddling around with a gorf cabinet but that's now shelved until further notice
Sounds good. Got over 40m2 to cover and each 2.5 ltr tin is over 65 I think ? Recon I need 4 or 5 tins for 2 coats
these projects aren't a low cost job . Got my double t+g delivered today , 112 lengths of 3 mtr stacked and covered, 11 18mm 8x2 roof boards and 11 for floor, 225x4200 roof joists and 3x2 lengths . My rear looks like a timber merchants and got it all covered .

I shall look forward to your building it and painting it post, no not cheap to use clear protect but I hope it helps the lifespan of the log cabin increase. , still to decide on a colour for the interior and then get electrics sorted out . Good luck
