A pre-textured sealing tape is provided for sealing the chink between the
stacked logs in a log structure. A paper, plastic, metal 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. A synthetic resin mixed with a granular
material has been found to be suitable for the flexible coating and
texturing of the tape. The tape can be applied directly to the logs,
between the logs or to objects positioned within the chink, such as
splines, insulation sheeting, or plywood panels. The tape can cover the
space between simulated logs attached to panels used in simulated log
structures.
