Check Mate 2 is an outstanding water resistant sealant that prevents water and air infiltration through pronounced cracks (called checks) in logs, timbers and wood siding. Caulking is an obvious solution to this problem, but caulking does not work because of limits in adhesion and weatherability.
It is especially important to seal upward facing checks in any location where they may accumulate water. If these checks are left unsealed, they become sites where rot may begin to take hold. If you have old checks where rot is a risk, be sure to apply Shell-Guard before sealing with Check Mate 2.
Product Information
Check Mate 2 is specifically formulated to meet the particular requirements for sealing checks that appear in logs and log siding. Checks and splits in logs present a different set of dynamics than those typically addressed by a caulk, and therefore need a specialized sealant like Check Mate 2.
