Sashco Brushover Chinking Coating

Restore the look of your chinking with Brush Over chink coating. Brush Over glides on with the ease of paint, but is actually elastic - allowing it to move with the elastic chinking beneath. Whether you are re-finishing older chinking (synthetic or mortar type), touching up discoloration caused by staining or simply changing the color of your existing chinking, Brush Over is the fast and effective way to give your home the just-chinked look.

Brush Over looks like real mortar chinking - it's lightly textured and colored to match all five Log Jam chinking colors. It is non-toxic, dries fast and cleans up with just water. Brush Over is available in handy two-gallon pails.

  Preparation

  STEP 1 - Cracked Chinking

  If any areas of the chinking are cracked, they should be filled with either an elastomeric chinking or caulking (such as Log Jam, Chinker’s Edge, Log Builder or Conceal). Be sure new chinking or caulking is then tooled smooth. The chinking or caulking should cure 3-5 days (depending on temperature/humidity) before applying Brush Over.

  STEP 2 - Clean Surface

  Before applying Brush Over, all surfaces should be clean: any other contaminants on the substrate (like dirt, oil, water repellents, mold, mildew, etc.) should be removed. Mold and mildew can be removed applying a bleach solution (consisting of 3 parts water to 1 part household bleach), allow it to set for 15-20 minutes, then rinse off thoroughly with a hose.

  STEP 3 - Dry Surface Surface must be dry before applying Brush Over.

  Application

  Use a high-quality brush (like Purdy® brand) to apply Brush Over. Be sure to use a brush size smaller than the joint width to ensure good control while coating. Thoroughly stir before using and stir occasionally while applying. Surface Temperature Apply between 50°F (when temperature is rising) and 100°F. Avoid applying in direct sun. Because Brush Over dries fast, any spills, drips or runs should be cleaned up immediately with a wet cloth.

  Tips

  If Brush Over needs to be thinned (for easier brushing), add clean water at the rate of no more than 12 oz. per 2 gallons of Brush Over. In most cases, dilution won’t be necessary. After applying Brush Over If rain is expected within four hours after application, cover with plastic until rain passes. Cool temperatures and/or humidity may increase dry time.

  Clean-up Clean hands and tools with soap and water.
