Can chinking or caulking be applied over wood that has been previously treated with an oil or solvent based stain?
We do not recommend it, but, in some cases, yes. It depends on how long the stain has been on the logs and how the stain has weathered. It depends on the type of oil stain and what ingredients are in the stain. We recommend that you test the chinking or caulking over an area that has been protected from the weather, such as under eaves. Allow 2 to 3 days for the chinking or caulking to cure. Then see if you can pull the chinking or caulking off of the stained surface.
