If the surface is not cleaned thoroughly to remove all contaminants, the new layer of stain and sealant will not adhere correctly and will not last long-term. Oftentimes, there are multiple layers of stain that need to be cleaned and removed before a new layer can be added and the log home’s exterior fully restored. A home owner in Bonfield, Ontario, wished to restore his 15 year old cedar log home and bring it back to its original beauty. Over the years, the exterior stain had begun to peel and become layered with dirt and mold. The exterior had been restained multiple times but never cleaned in between, causing a 15 year buildup of stain, dirt and mold. In order to put on a fresh, new coat of stain, all of the old layers must first be removed. The team at Bonazza Dry Ice Blasting was contacted to do the job. The Problem Traditional methods of surface preparation were considered, including pressure washing, but the water would get into the wood and cause the stain to peel sooner.
