Phil is working on a mountain cabin and writes –
I have been building what started as a relatively small cabin, now 5 years later with two timber frame additions in the mountains of Va. The first chinking I used was a mixture of cement sand and dirt and it seemed to crack a fair amount, especially where I added another skim coat in spots. I am now ready to chink the inside and would like a sturdy (somewhat lighter color ) on the inside. I would greatly appreciate any tips / recipes you might have. After 5 years of work I HAVE to get this one right!! Thanks much for your help

Hello Phil Sounds like a great project… We would love to see photos some time.
Chinking on the interior will be much like your chinking on the exterior – however I suggest a different recipe. Just out of curiosity – where did you come up with your recipe?
