A pre-textured sealing tape is provided for sealing the chink between the
stacked logs in a log structure. A woven or textile type of backing
support material is coated with a thin layer of flexible moisture
impermeable material resembling conventional chinking materials. A
suitable adhesive can be applied to the opposite side of the support
materials with the adhesive covered by a release layer. The tape is cut to
the desired width for the chink that is to be sealed and is finished in a
rolled configuration. An acrylic resin mixed with silicon sand has been
found to be preferable for the flexible texturing of the tape. The tape
can be applied directly to the logs or to objects positioned within the
chink, such as splines or insulation sheeting.
