Cascade Clear Top Coat is the clear finishing top coat of Sashco’s Capture/Cascade staining system. Cascade’s sheen brings out the depth and character of the wood grain while minimizing color shifts in the Capture Log Stain.

Its easy-to-apply water-based formula makes routine maintenance simple and headache-free. Cascade provides added exterior protection against damaging UV rays, molds and fungi.

Sashco Cascade Features & Benefits
• Maintenance made easy: Simply clean the surface, apply Cascade to bring back that just-stained look.
• Easy water clean-up: Skin, earth, and nose friendly is always a plus. No harsh chemicals required.
• Easy to know when: If the surface has lost its sheen, it’s time for maintenance.
• Won’t discolor chinking: Cascade is clear, so routine maintenance applications won’t affect the color of your chinking or other sealants.
• Repels water: Keeps your logs in tip-top shape and your rot concerns at bay.
• Resists mildew & algae: Ensures that unsightly growths stay where they belong – in a lab, not on your logs.
• Protects against UV damage: Cascade protects Capture Log Stain from major color shifts to maintain that just- stained look.

Where to use Sashco Cascade
• Specifically formulated for use over Capture Log Stain on the exterior of log, timber frame, and wood homes.

Sashco Cascade Application Instructions
• Apply Cascade when the temperature is 40°F and rising to 90° and falling.
• In severe conditions (under 40°F and/or 70%+ humidity), full rain resistance may take longer.
• Cover exterior walls with plastic if rainfall or snowfall is expected within 24 hours after application.
• Clean up: Soap and water.
• Dry time: Cascade dries to touch in 30 minutes or less in ideal weather.
• Check that the pigmented coat of Capture Log Stain is firm and set.
• Thoroughly stir Cascade before application to clean, stained, exterior logs.
• Use a garden sprayer or airless paint sprayer to apply and brush out runs.

Sashco Cascade Application Steps
1. Compatibility counts: Cascade is formulated for use only with Capture Log Stain. Contact Sashco if you are attempting to use Cascade with any other stain. Cascade will not adhere to any product containing waxes, silicone, or other non-drying oils.
2. Timing matters: Cascade gives Capture Log Stain excellent water and UV resistance. It’s best to apply it within 1-2 days after Capture Log Stain has dried in order to ensure proper protection.
3. Clean the surface: Dust, pollen, or other contaminants can interfere with Cascade adhesion to the stained surface (and look ugly underneath it if they get trapped there). To remove these contaminants, lightly rinse down surfaces with plain water to remove them and allow surfaces to thoroughly dry.
4. Air & surface temperatures matter: To allow Cascade to dry and adhere properly to the Capture log stain, apply the product when the forecast is predicting clear, rain-free and snow-free weather, with air and wood surface temps of 40° to 90°F (4°-32°C) both during application and for the rest of the day after it has been applied. (This includes overnight temperatures!) If rain can’t be avoided, protect stained surfaces from direct rainfall for 1-2 days after application. Like any wet stain or paint, direct, heavy rain can wash the product off the surface before it has completely dried. (Once dry, Cascade is absolutely water resistant.) Use a surface thermometer to check surface temps.
5. Control surface mildew: To further enhance protection from mildew growth on the surface of the stain, add in Stay Clean I/E Mildewcide to each pail of Cascade. Cascade is already boosted with algaecides to resist algae growth.
6. Mix it up properly: Using a squirrel cage type mixer, thoroughly mix Cascade, being sure to scrape all material off the bottom of the pail.
7. Spray it on: Using an airless paint sprayer or pump sprayer, apply one heavy coat of Cascade, following behind immediately to brush out any runs. Cascade will appear milky when applied but will dry clear.

Product Questions

Product Questions

  • I have some leftover Cascade in my garage, but it might have gotten frozen over the winter. Is it still good to use?

    Sashco Cascade has a freeze-thaw pass for at least 5 cycles. Storage location should not be subject to freezing.  I would open the pail and if you smell a rotten egg odor, discard the product.

  • How often do I have to apply Cascade to keep the finish up?

    Sashco Cascade is used as the protective topcoat over Sashco Capture stain.  I would check the south and west sides of your home which gets the most weather and sun damage to see if you still have water repellency active.  Take a hose and wet the wood and if it does not appear to repel water, then this would probably be a great time to clean the wood and apply a new coat of Cascade.

  • Can I use Cascade directly onto the wood without using Capture?

    Sashco Cascade is a topcoat used over Sashco Capture stain.  It is not intended to be a stand alone finish over bare wood.

  • Is it okay to apply more than 1 coat of Cascade for a higher sheen?

    Sashco Cascade is used as a topcoat over Sashco Capture stain.  It is recommended that you use only one, good coat of Cascade over the stain.  Cascade comes in a Satin and Semi-Gloss sheen so if you want a little shinier look, you will want to use the Semi-Gloss Cascade.
