Log cabin repairs begins by removing failed stain from surfaces using abrasive glass or walnut media. Glass and walnut media pose no threat to wood surfaces or the surrounding environment and their uses depend on the prior stain condition. Dry media blasting is often the preferred choice for stripping wood surfaces for two primary reasons: 1. There is no dry time, therefore any home can be completed in a timely manner and 2. The risk of mold, mildew and rot is drastically reduced because no water is forced into the wood caused from pressure washing or chemical stripping.
