Capture and Cascade
Capture the timeless beauty of natural grain.

Nature is beautiful—but harsh. So Capture log stain is specifically designed to protect the exterior of your home no matter what the weather condition or elevation. Capture's unequaled formula allows the coating to move freely as your logs inevitably expand and contract (as moisture escapes and temperatures change). Which means no pealing, flaking or chalking-just a beautiful coating that really lasts!

It's truly remarkable and unheard of until now—an elastic coating that stretches with log movement. This flexibility permits the bridging of small cracks in the surface of wood and provides an elastic shield for the underlying wood. Virtually no other coating provides this level of elasticity. Loaded with UV absorbers, Capture protects your home from the damaging effects of the sun's ultraviolet rays. Capture glides on and clean up is easy with just soap and water.

One heavy coat of Capture is recommended with the following application method:  spray Capture on and immediately back-brush it into the wood (or, directly brush on), with vigorous brushing to ensure proper penetration and adhesion.  Don't just brush out runs!  (Apply in the shade, not in the sun, so the stain doesn't dry too fast.)

Coverage Rate:  One gallon of Capture log stain covers 200-300 sq. ft. on smooth surfaces and approximately 150 sq. ft. per gallon on rough surfaces.  One gallon of Cascade clear coat covers 400-600 sq. ft. of smooth surfaces and approximately 250 sq. ft. per gallon on rough surfaces.  For best performance apply between the temperatures 60 and 90 degrees.

Moisture content of the logs should be 20% or less.

Capture is the water based, pigmented part of a two-part system: An extremely effective, attractive stain followed by a clear, weather-repellent topcoat called Cascade.

Capture Log Stain Color Chart


You chose your logs for their unique and rustic beauty. So why hide it? Use one of Capture's ten beautiful, transparent colors and see your logs come alive as every knot, grain and detail is enhanced.

Cascade provides added exterior protection against damaging UV rays, molds and fungi. It dries with a modest sheen and adds depth to the appearance of stained logs. Capture and Cascade are water based products.

Apply one heavy coat of Cascade clear topcoat.  Any runs or build up of material should be brushed out before drying.

High Sierra Log Stain
Goes on Fast – Stays on Long

                
High Sierra Log & Deck Stain was formulated for ease of application without sacrificing beauty or performance. It really is easy to apply. The 2-coat oil based system has a longer working time so that lap marks are practically eliminated and the second coat evens out inconsistencies that may have occurred on the application of the first coat. It can even be applied at cooler temperatures, surface temperatures as low as 40ºF.

The durability of High Sierra has been successfully tested on one of the most difficult substrates-decks. And, although performance is paramount, let’s not forget beauty. High Sierra has a color pallet of 10 choices, from rich, warm browns, to natural, honey colors. The high quality trans-oxide pigments enhance the beauty of the grain while protecting the wood. The finish is stunning, durable, and will look like it was applied by professionals.  No topcoat needed.

Coverage Rate:  First coat covers 150-300 sq. ft. per gallon.  Second coat applied within 30 minutes to 2 hours after the first coat will cover 250-450 sq. ft. per gallon.  For best performance apply between 60 and 90 degrees.

High Sierra is no longer recommended for decks and railings.
