Sashco Capture Log Stain – Data Tech
TIPS FROM THE PROS
1. When spraying. follow these guidelines:
- a. Use Graco airless tip #313 or equivalent.
- b. Use low pressure. High pressure may cause the product to gel, clogging the tip.
- c. Vigorously back brush each coat of stain into the wood.
2. All log cut ends should be coated several times with Capture Log Stain, followed by one coat of Cascade, until the pores are sealed. These areas are the most prone to water absortion, mildew and rot damage so they require special care.
3. An unevenness of sheen, referred to as flashing, may occur on soft woods, like pine. To stop or soften this effect on interior wood, apply Symphony or a water-based sanding sealer before applying Capture Log Stain. By controlling Capture Log Stain’s penetration into the wood, a more uniform coat will result. Knotty woods are more prone to flashing than open-grained woods.

TECHNICAL DATA:
(Not to be considered specifications)
Colors: Almond Bark, Natural, Wheat, Bronze Pine, Autumn Aspen, Hazelnut, Sequoia, Chestnut, Glacier Gray, Driftwood.
Coverage: One gallon of Capture Log Stain covers 200-300 sq. ft. on smooth surfaces and approximately 150 sq. ft. per gallon on rough surfaces. One gallon of Cascade clear coat covers 400-600 sq. ft. on smooth surfaces and approximately 250 sq. ft. per gallon on rough surfaces.
Recommended wet film thickness: 3 mils (use a gauge if in doubt).
Packaging: One-gallon and five-gallon pails.
Application Range: Surface temperature: 40 deg. F minimum and rising, 90 deg. F maximum and falling. The coating should be applied and allowed to dry within this temperature range. Application and curing below the minimum risks freezing and slow drying which could lead to rain or snow damage. Application above the recommended maximum risks drying too fast, with poor penetration into the wood.
Best Performance: Between 60 deg. F and 90 deg. F.
Note: When cold and/or humid nights are expected, apply coating no later than mid-afternoon to allow adequate drying before exposure to severe conditions.
VOCs: Less than 250g/L
Compatibility: Sashco’s Capture is recommended for use with Log Jam, Log Builder, Conceal, Cascade, Symphony and PeneTreat. It also works well with most other caulking/chinking, clear exterior and interior topcoats and borate preservatives. Contact Sashco for details and before using other products.
Dry Time: Capture Log Stain dries to touch in 30 minutes (or less) in ideal weather, but the nature of the coating is that it will retain a slight tackiness until you top-coat with Cascade. (45 deg F – 90 deg. F, 50% humidity or less)
Shelf Life: 18 months from date of manufacture (minimum).
Viscosity: Brookfield, LVF, 300-400 cp, #3 spindle, 6rpm.
