Corn blasting

At Sun-Rise we feel that our policy of not using chemical strippers because of their impact on the environment is the right choice. There are several other methods of removing an existing finish. Power washing, sanding and cornblasting are the preferred methods.

When we are unable to remove an existing finish by power washing we use corn blasting. The method is similar to sand blasting but corn cob grit is used which is not as abrasive as sand and is environmental friendly and biodegradable.

After cornblasting, the logs are returned to an almost new condition. The walls are then sanded, washed and three coats of quality stain, such as Weatherall UV Guard Exterior Wood Finish must be applied to protect the logs.
