Weatherall UV Guard Textured Caulk is a highly elastic, textured caulk formulated from 100% pure acrylic resins. It was specifically developed for use on log homes and many other construction-related areas where maximum elasticity is required and where a textured appearance is desired for aesthetics.

Where to Use Weatherall UV Guard Textured Caulk
New Construction: UV Guard Textured Caulk may be used where a narrower bead with blended natural appearance is preferred, for instance, on Full Scribe, Tongue & Groove and D-Log Homes.
It is also recommended for use on corners and other dynamically moving joints such as green log construction, where shrinkage may be substantial and backer rod may not be used.
Other uses include: Siding (Log or Sawn Slab), corners and checks in logs.
Restoration: UV Guard Textured Caulk is an excellent restoration/repair product for previously applied mortar chinking, mastics, and glossy caulks.

Weatherall UV Guard Textured Caulk Surface Preparation
• The logs must be clean, structurally sound, dry (23% moisture content maximum) and free from any grease, paraffins, oils, petroleum distillates, urethanes or other surface contaminants that could inhibit the ability of the sealant to bond to the wood fibers.
• Any finish, whatever the composition, may be incompatible with the sealant system if the finish deposits a heavy film on the surface of the wood.
• The sealant must be able to bond to the wood fibers.

Weatherall UV Guard Textured Caulk Application Method
• UV Guard Textured Caulk can be applied using a commercial pump or caulking gun (bulk loading, air-powered or standard gun).
• Do not thin this product with water.
• Hold nozzle at a 45° angle to apply bead.
• Apply uniform pressure to form a smooth, even bead. Tool the bead to a smooth finish.
• For best results, cured beads should be between 1/8” - 1/2” wide and 1/8” – 1/4” deep. For joints that exceed 1/4” width, install a polyethylene, closed-cell backer rod before caulking.
• Do not use in below-grade applications or below water line.
• NOTE: To tool bead use a narrow trowel and spray the back of the trowel with a release agent (50/50 water and isopropyl alcohol). This will allow the trowel to glide smoothly over the UV Guard Textured Caulk. Do not spray the release agent directly on the wood surface.

Weatherall UV Guard Textured Caulk Application Instructions
• UV Guard Textured Caulk should not be applied when temperatures are below 40° F., or when subfreezing temperatures are expected within 48 hours of application.
• Avoid application in the rain or when rain is imminent.
• Do not apply UV Guard Textured Caulk to a hot wall.
• When applying in very hot weather, it is recommended that the sealant be applied to the shaded side of the house.

Weatherall UV Guard Textured Caulk Drying Time
• UV Guard Textured Caulk will be skinned over on the surface in 20-30 minutes and will be surface dry in 8-10 hours under normal conditions.
• It will be fully cured in 1-3 weeks. Actual times will vary depending on temperature and relative humidity. Caulking should be protected from contact damage for at least 1 week after application.

Weatherall UV Guard Textured Caulk Storage and Clean Up
• UV Guard Textured Caulk must be protected from freezing and stored in temperatures that do not exceed 90° F.
• Opened containers may be stored by floating a thin film of water (1/16”) on the surface of the material, covering it with plastic, and tightly relidding the container.
• Do not store in direct sunlight.
• Clean uncured UV Guard Textured Caulk immediately from tools, hands and equipment with soap and water.
• If the material is allowed to dry, it may need to be removed with a solvent.

Product Questions

  • What do you do with the little cap at the end of these tubes?

    Weatherall's caulk and chink tubes ship with a reusable cap that can be used to reseal the tube once you've opened it. It's a friction fit, so you can just pull it off and push it back on.

  • Are the Red Rock and Redwood colors still available in this product?

    Weatherall has discontinued production on those colors in the UV Guard Textured Caulk.
