    • An amazing waterproffer!
Size: 1 gal
I cut loge into raw edge slabs and I waterproof the log ends with Anchor Seal. This keeps the wood from drying out too fast thus preventing the ends from splitting. This product is great for this purpose. I highly recommend this product.

    • Really is contact cement
Size: 1 gal
I'm renewing the interior carpet on one of my cars. I needed this contact cement to attach the carpet to some plastic hardboard backing. It works really well for that. I began using it with a full breathing mask that is appropriate for volatiles. My workshop is a very high-roofed building with lots of open windows an eaves (hot in the summer and cold in the winter...no HVAC). I found that the breathing mask did not eliminate all of the smell. I have 6 overhead fans running and could still smell it. I have a large very powerful floor fan on a 5 foot stand. I found that if I turn it on me directly whilst using the contact cement, I not only can't smell the volatiles at all, but the cement dries even faster and enables me to obtain adherence almost immediately. My only complaint was the way it was packaged for shipment. The packer failed to include any bubble wrap or brown paper to keep the can from moving in the box in which it was shipped. As a result, the can came with a significant dent around the top and cement leakage in the box, making it a bit of a challenge to get the can closed after use. ... show more

    • Are You Enlightened And Know What A Bowl Blank Is? Then Do Yourself A Favor And Buy A Gallon Of Anchorseal 2!!
Size: 1 gal
Review Image by John Galt John Galt
Review Image by John Galt John Galt
I'm going to hazard a guess that 90% of all bowl turners use Anchor Seal 2. I have had less than 2% of my green bowl blanks and/or rough turned bowls crack when I use this product. Some apply just to the end grain portions, but I just coat the entire blank or bowl. This applies so easily and quickly that it's a no-brainer to use every time. It eliminates cracks and checking by slowing the moisture loss from wood. The good news is that wood still dries - it just takes longer and keeps the wood stable. The photos are freshly sealed bowl blanks and a sealed rough turned bowl Pro: • It works to prevent cracks 98% of the time • It's inexpensive - a little goes a LONG way • Easy to apply and requires little to no clean-up • Dries clear, allowing you to identify wood species Con: • It is one additional processing step (yeah, I know I'm stretching here) Tips: • Dedicate a paint brush (doesn't matter what kind - I use synthetic) so it's always near the can and handy. • Store brush "wet" in a sealed ziplok or wash quickly in warm water. • Use a mat (rubber, synthetic, plastic) to catch drips and smears when applying and don't bother to clean after use. • Apply liberally to coat thoroughly (a gallon covers hundreds of bowls or blanks). • If you mark your blanks or bowls with wood species and/or a date - do this before you apply Anchorseal 2. Brilliant chemists could tell you the exact composition of this product, but between you and me, think of this as liquid wax. When applied, it looks like milky white paint, but within 12-24 hours, it dries pretty much transparent and feels waxy. I generally dedicate a paint brush to this task and you can wash it out in warm water after each use or you can slide it "wet" into a ziplok, seal and it stores just fine for months. I also have a rolled up piece of rubber mat that I throw on my workbench when I "paint" blanks or bowls. When I spill product or rest a "painted" side on the rubber, I just leave the Anchorseal on the mat and don't bother to wipe or rinse off between uses. So clean-up is non-existent. I have to admit I'm a zealot for this product...now if someone would just create a self-sharpening bowl gouge. ... show more

    • My Sawyer Swears by It. Goes on Easy. Cleanup a Snap.
Size: 1 gal
Got some logs from a friend and after researching end grain sealing methods, chose Anchorseal. Since was my first rodeo, I was pleased to learn that my sawyer had been using Anchorseal for years and loved it. I don't know if it is easy to stir up, but I took no chances and went to my local Home Depot and asked them to shake the can since my first use would be in the field in 2 days. Pros: 1. Goes on very easily with a cheap bristle brush. 2. Clean up is a snap. The wax emulsion quickly rinses out of the brush. I used a Sharpie to label it solely for use with Anchorseal. 3. Once mixed, it stays mixed for days. 4. Comes in a plastic can and lid. Wish latex primer and paint came in plastic cans and lids--no corrosion. 5. While I cannot personally attest to how well applying Anchorseal to freshly cut end grain prevents checking (splitting) by reducing the drying rate, as I mentioned above, my sawyer swears by it and red oak boards I bought from him earlier this year that had been air-drying for over a year, showed no checking. 6. Best: Anchorseal allows you to quickly and easily apply the best seal--wax--to the end of the freshly cut lumber. It blocks water and oxygen. Old-time canners relied on wax to seal their jars. Cons: 1. While it will take some time before I can personally attest to Anchorseal's effectiveness in preventing checking in our 8/4 walnut boards, the only negative I can think of is that it goes on and spreads so easily that I may not have applied a thick enough layer. ... show more

    • Seal those cuts
Size: 1 gal
I use this product to seal freshly cut hardwood logs to limit drying (to keep the logs from end checking or splitting). Was recommended by woodworking trade school to prevent cracking for wood used for bowl turning blanks.
