Oakum or "jute", has been used in
log building for more than a hundred years and works well as a filler
because it is pliable, a good insulator, resists decay, and repels
insects and rodents. When using Oakum with products such as: 1010 Chinking, Log Jam, and Log Builder
be sure to apply a bond breaker between the Oakum and the caulking or
chinking product. Mylar tape or "packing tape" works well as a bond
breaker. The bond breaker breaks the bond of the caulk or chinking
material so that it will not stick to the Oakum and allows it to expand
and contract without cracking. See diagrams on the top of this page.
