How often would I have to replenish the surface if I used Timbor on a log home?

The surface will be stained with a Behr siding product for sealing/staining purposes.

Answer:

Timbor is more typically used on wood that will not be exposed to weathering and the outside.  You would need to re-apply the Timbor each time you re-sealed the wood with the Behr product.  The same company that makes Timbor makes a product called Bora-Care.  It is more expensive, but it is a liquid solution instead of a powder.  The Bora-Care will penetrate deeper in the wood, and protect the wood indefinitely so you would not have to re apply the product ever again.   Also, Bora-Care dries clear and is easier to paint or stain over whereas the Timbor leaves a white powder on the surface and is more difficult to paint or stain.
