Hi,
I am looking for a supplier of log cabin chinking (I'm not sure if that is spelled right, it is the white stuff used to fill the cracks between logs in log cabins). A HH article a while back featured chinking that was a synthetic of some sort, but the product was not available in the sources. Any help in this area would be appreciated.

Sorry for the late reply... been on vacation. The drywall compound has been there for 5 years and hasn't cracked. I suppose it depends on how much that particular wall moves. You could go over it with a latex urethane if you're worried about dust.
That's a good idea. Thanks. It is for an exposed wood wall in a 1920's house. I guess I am just worried that the drywall compund might eventually crack or give off dust. Maybe there is something I can treat it with to prevent this?
[B]Do you need it for a real log home, or are you doing some kind of project. We covered a floating wall in our cottage/home with pine to look like logs. We filled the cracks with drywall compound. It looks just like chinking. [/B]
