Anchorseal

[Eric Rorabaugh]

My gallon of Anchorseal finally came in today. Now I can get some of this green wood cut and sealed. How thick do you guys put it on?

 

[Steve Smith]

Pretty thick, particularly with the newer formulation which is reported to be quite inferior to the original.

If it's something that moves allot I will double coat it. Anchor seal is cheap compared to the wood I buy so I really slather it on.

 

[Eric Rorabaugh]

Ok. Thanks. I ordered the original, I had read it's better than the "green" stuff.

 

[woodtickgreg]

I use the original and 2 coat everything.

 

[Nature Man]

Focus on the end grain principally with the Anchorseal. Chuck

 

[CWS]

If the wood has feather grain , seal the feathered surface.

 

[Eric Rorabaugh]

I went ahead and sealed all sides of everything. Except for barked edges. Thanks all.

 

[Jason Martin]

Where do you buy Anchorseal?

 

[Tony]

You can get it at Woodcraft.

 

[Jason Martin]

thanks!

 

[Eric Rorabaugh]

I ordered mine directly from UC Coatings.

I find that if you go through a lot of it or can find some local folks willing to split a pail, the five gallon is a much better price than buying gallons

I ordered mine directly from UC Coatings.

I order from them direct as well, I also prefer the original formula.

 

[Tom Smart]

If you have a turning club nearby, check with them. Ours buys by the 55gal drum and then sells it in 1 gal sizes.

I buy directly from UC Coatings- 5 gallon drum is much more cost effective. I put one coat first and push it to the pores. I wait a day to dry and put another coat. If you have discovered checks on the lumber- put a coat on it regardless where it is. I put liberal amounts to where any knots exist and live edges. I also prefer the original formula. I prefer it as it is slightly thicker to me compare to the 2nd version.

When anchorseal went "green" I went to "artisan brand" sold bu Craft supplies. Just as good as the old anchorseal--most of the endseals were brought out for commercial mills and are basically the same--until Calif. went green. I had to change to different lacquers and SS because of the exuberant green folks.

Anyone use pentacryl green wood stabilizer? I read something about it recently, looks interesting for smaller blanks. Soak for a few days then they are supposed to dry quite fast without cracking?

I see people mention it online, but I don’t know anyone personally who has ever used it.
