Classic Log & Lumber End Sealer - Water Based Wax Emulsion, Prevents up to 90% of End Checking on Cut Ends of Hardwood & Softwood … (1 Quart)

This stuff is perfect for sealing end grain. Used it on a pergola for the post ends and the mortises and tenons- forms a waxy coating. Dries in a day. Water cleanup. Makes joints easier to fit too!

Excelente producto, sella la madera perfectamente y rinde muchísimo

vraiment surpris

Quick and works great. Seals log end, dries to solid, doesn't ever get brittle or crack.

Anchorseal is a waxy liquid used to seal the ends of logs to slow the rate of drying and reduce the amount of checking in the wood. I had some fresh pine logs that I wanted to prevent splitting in, so I went with Anchorseal over latex paint as Anchorseal is reputed to be more water impermeable. I expected the wax to separate out of solution but that wasn't the case. It applied very easily, soaking into the endgrain. I was able to seal the ends of seven logs roughly 24" across and still have half a can left. A couple months later I've seen no appreciable checking. Summer will be the real test, but so far so good.
