Transformation Stain
Restore What Nature Destroyed

When its time to restore an eroded, failing stain, or if you need to maintain a coating that has lost its luster, remember one word, transformation. Better yet, remember two words: Transformation Stain. Transformation Stain will transform the appearance of your exterior logs and exterior vertical woodwork from dull and lifeless to rich and brilliantespecially for older logs needing restoration. The stain thats easy to remember because its name describes what you want and what it provides, Transformation!

Transformation Stain isnt just for restoration. On new construction, Transformation provides a solid foundation of protection that can actually reduce the frequency of future maintenance, saving you precious time and hard-earned money. Compared to some of the most popular stains on the market, Transformation out-performed them in color and appearance retention. And since Transformation dramatically improves the appearance of restored wood, can you imagine the beauty of this coating on new logs? Transformation Stain delivers beauty that lasts. (The information provided in the data tec sheet, starting with the section labeled Fundamental Application Guidelines through to the last page is appropriate for both new construction and restoration.)

Sashco’s Transformation Stain is formulated with resins based on renewable resources, such as safflower, linseed, and Tung oil, rather than petroleum-based chemicals...giving it an honorable mention in the "Green Home and Lifestyle Awards".

For exterior and interior use. Two-part system to be used with Cascade clear topcoat below. Somewhat shiny looking end result. 
Capture log stain is specifically designed to protect 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 peeling, flaking or chalking-just a beautiful coating that really lasts!
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.
Extremely transparent- heavily loaded with trans-oxide pigments to give a beautiful, transparent look to the grain of wood. When topcoated with Cascade, modest sheen results.
Highly elastic-to permit the unavoidable movement of wood due to surface expansion and contraction due to moisture and temperature changes without cracking and peeling. 
Excellent UV protection with used in conjunction with Cascade topcoat.
Coverage: Approximately 150 sq. ft. on rough surfaces. 200-300 on smooth surfaces. 
Use two heavy coats (especially with lighter colors), with one additional heavy coat of Cascade TopCoat. (see below).

Weather repellent topcoat to be used with Capture Log Home Stain (above). Adds "depth" and a satin sheen to Capture. Not recommended for interior bare wood. 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.
Weather repellent shield. Once your home is stained with Capture, (and Capture has properly dried), apply Cascade clear exterior weather repellent. This step adds extra protection against mildew and damaging UV light. 
Excellent adhesion. Unique and proprietary formula gives Capture extreme adhesion to wood. It acts as a powerful primer for caulks/chinking by giving even more adhesion results to Log Builder or Log Jam when applied to Capture.

High Sierra Log Stain was formulated for ease of application without sacrificing beauty or performance. It really is easy to apply. The 2-coat 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 40F.
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.
