Chinking a log home is actually an easy thing to do. Think of it like icing a cake.
As you may have read in one of my earlier posts, I am not a fan of pre-made synthetic chinking or synthetic chinking of any kind. I make my own chinking with a simple mix of portland cement, sand and lime.
Before adding water I tend to mix all the ingredients together in my trough – you don’t have to as its just a quirky thing I do.
The consistency that I’m trying to achieve is like that of thick peanut butter. I want to be able to mix just enough water to it so that when I form a ball of the mix with my hands — it holds.
