- Maximum Protection: ANCHORSEAL 2 prevents up to 90% of end grain checking and drying splits in freshly cut wood, logs, and lumber, preserving the integrity and value of your wood projects by creating a protective barrier against moisture loss

- Easy to Use: The ready-to-apply formula can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed directly onto freshly cut end grain surfaces, providing quick and convenient protection without requiring mixing or special preparation
- Professional Grade: Designed specifically as an end grain sealer, this product works by slowing down the drying process at the vulnerable end grain areas where wood is most susceptible to cracking and splitting during the seasoning period
- Cost-Effective Solution: By significantly reducing wood waste from checking and splits, ANCHORSEAL 2 helps preserve more usable material from your logs and lumber, saving money and maximizing the yield from each piece of wood you process
- Moisture Control Technology: Controls the rate of moisture release from exposed end grain surfaces during the seasoning process, ensuring even drying and reducing stress that leads to cracks and defects in your valuable wood stock
Description

I may not be using this product for which it was originally designed, but so far it seems to work well for me. Most of the reviews I read for this product indicate use for green wood, but I like to use it as further protection for woods that are already "stable". I have both kiln-dried and air-dried woods, and many of them are exotics which represent a significant monetary investment. Dealing with seasonal changes can tax any wood product, and no matter how well I try to control climate in the shop, relative humidity swings of 20% or even greater are not uncommon during drastic weather changes. Sometimes Mother Nature moves at a faster rate than the climate controls can keep up. It can especially be bad if the big doors are kept open while moving items in/out. Had a couple of times where it took a few days to get back where I wanted, and I'm sure it's an indicator that my climate controls are not suitably-sized for my area. Still, my present equipment serves me well enough, and I certainly don't wish to invest in construction of a lab environment. So even with "kiln-dried" wood, the stock is still at risk if the storage environment is not kept reasonably stable. Of course, different species of wood absorb/lose moisture at different rates than others, but I don't like taking chances with ANY of it. To me, the purpose of coating is not to completely prevent moisture exchange, but rather to retard it. (Fast rates of exchange are what have given me the most problems.) Once the moisture content of the wood is at the level I want, I like to keep it there as much as possible during fluctuations in the atmosphere. (On some pieces, I'll even coat the entire piece, not just the endgrain.) In the past I have used leftover paint, polyurethane, or dipped in hot wax to protect end grain. All worked fine, but presented compromises. Somehow it just doesn't feel right taking an expensive piece of ebony, rosewood, etc. and putting paint on it, wondering if all paint can be removed without excessive wood waste. The hot wax works great and removes easily with scraping, but application is inconvenient, especially if coating a large piece. This Anchorseal goes on very easily, doesn't stain the wood, and cleans up easily. For me, it is a better alternative than the coatings I previously used. Concerning performance, only time will tell, but I suspect it performs every bit as well as my previous methods.

Wonderful product. Really impressive. However, I would not apply to log ends. In most cases, you are going to cut-off the bad spots anyway, so applying might be a waste of time & money. I am making round table-tops from a sliced log. Depending on your situation and age of logs, I would refrain from applying the seal too soon. You do not want a bunch of water in your furniture before varnishing. I allowed a few months for moisture content to drop from 53% to15%. As soon as I witnesses the telltale sign of "checking", I belt sanded both sides of the slice. Then applied Loctite PL3 to any underside cracks starting to enlarge. Then I applied Anchor-Seal to bottom of wood only. (The top will receive multi coats of varnish) Which brings me to another word of caution. The seal will affect the color of your finish varnish. Hence the reason I do not recommend using the product first, under your stain. The sealer had a noticeable yellowish tint. Other than that, goes on smooth with a brush. Drying time varies. Would but again.

Works great for sealing end grain on freshly cut cherry logs. I make bowls out these logs and no splitting after 2 weeks. I used latex paint in the past and it still split so I tried this product with successs. Easy brush cleaning with just water.

Works great sealing turning blanks and rough turned bowls. I just wish it wasn't so expensive.

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.

Great product! I cut several 9” diameter by 1 1/2” thick slabs for my granddaughter’s birthday party to use as craft projects. I sealed 9 of these with this product and left 4 untreated. It’s been a month now and the treated slabs show no signs of cracking or splitting. The untreated slabs have major cracks and splits. I will definitely use this product again.

This leaves a waxy finish on your wood and a slightly yellow tint. It does seal very well, but the wood will not accept stain after applying. I will only use for rough or structural lumber in the future, and not for any wood that needs finish work. I was testing this against Wood Juice for sealing wood cookies

We had a bunch of black cherry and oak I wanted to save for turning and this is our GoTo product for that. It goes on really easily. More watery than you'd expect. Make sure to keep adding until it can drip. If it's pouring off you put too much on. It won't take long before it dries enough that you can see the grain again, but the wood will be darker now. We've been using it for years. Generally, we will put the logs outside, under a tarp, for a little while until I can make space inside somewhere, but honestly, it could stay outside if you needed it too. When applying I would def use a roller when I do logs over 10" and try to make sure the ends are cut nice and straight across. For smaller logs like the one I posted a pic of its easy to just use a cheap brush. Cleanup is fine with hot water. If I'm doing a bunchof logs I will get a junk chip brush from Harbor Freight and just throw it out when I'm done anyway.
