Chinking for Log Homes
Chinking as it is known today is a flexible sealant also known as synthetic mortar and is used to seal the joints between logs.
Chinking Notes on Joint Design
Chinking joint width should be between 1/4" and 2" and 4 times the anticipated movement. For chink joints 1" or more, the depth should be 3/8" to 1/2". The depth of chinking joints less than 1" wide should be half the width but no less than 1/4". (Chinking joint depth should be 1/4"-1/2".)
