        "text": "Interior cabin staining requires wood that is free of dust, oils, old polyurethane, or peeling topcoats. The preparation process starts with cleaning the logs or wood planks, followed by sanding or media blasting depending on the current wood condition. Gaps between logs or around trim may need chinking or caulking touch-ups, especially in older cabins or post-storm restoration projects. At HH Remodeling, owner Abraham Becerra reviews whether finish carpentry repairs or surface sanding are needed before any stain is applied, ensuring the stain penetrates evenly rather than sitting on a compromised surface.",
