ANCHORSEAL Classic is a best-in-class premium wax emulsion end sealer used for the prevention of end checks (drying splits) in both hardwood & softwood logs or lumber. By controlling the rate of moisture loss, up to 90% of end checks can be prevented when applying ANCHORSEAL. It was the 1st end grain sealer introduced to the log & lumber industry by U-C Coatings in 1980 and is still considered the best end grain protection you can get for logs & lumber. It is also widely used in the woodworking industry to protect, debarked logs, wood turning blanks, log "cookies" and live edge slabs.

APPLICATIONS

Surface Preparation

  • All areas to be coated should be clear of dirt and debris

Application

  • Apply ANCHORSEAL using a brush, roller or sprayer until it begins to drip slightly
  • For optimal coverage, use a gas engine, electric, air operated or backpack sprayer from U·C Coatings
  • If using spray equipment other than those sold by U·C Coatings, use 0.21”/0.55 mm tip or larger
  • Logs larger than 24”/60 cm in diameter will require a heavier coating, or two coats must be applied within a 15 minute period

Cleanup & Storage

  • Clean application equipment using hot soapy water
  • Store unused ANCHORSEAL above 50°F/10°C to prevent freezing. Winterized formulas will protect against freeze damage

Great product to seal green wood to dry

I was skeptical when I first applied this stuff, but when I returned the next day it had dried to a nice thin layer of wax on the end of the boards. It went on white, but appears to be clear now. So far I'm happy with it.

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.

Applied it after cleaning and using it it covered well but left river after drying which I had to sand smooth.
