Then Do Yourself A Favor And Buy A Gallon Of Anchorseal 2!! - 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. Review: A good insurance policy for your wood. - 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. ## Features - 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 - Versatile Application: Specially formulated for green wood sealing, this product is ideal for woodturning blanks, bowl blanks, lumber ends, log ends, and deck cuts, making it an essential solution for woodworkers, turners, and lumber professionals - 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 - Enhanced Performance: Drips less and sticks better than previous formulations for easier application - Versatile Application: Suitable for green wood sealer applications including turning blanks, bowls, logs, and lumber ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003A08DU6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,700 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #30 in Hardware Sealers | | Brand | ANCHORSEAL 2 | | Brand Name | ANCHORSEAL 2 | | Color | Anchorseal 2 Green Wood Sealer Gallon | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,406 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00094922924490 | | Included Components | Anchorseal 2 Green Wood Sealer Gallon | | Item Dimensions | 7.7 x 6.8 x 6.8 inches | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Highlight | Prevents up to 90% of Checking, Green Wood Sealer, For Turning Blanks & Bowls, Prevents Drying Splits on Wood & Decks | | Item Type Name | Anchorseal 2 Green Wood Sealer Gallon | | Item Weight | 8.7 pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 7.7 x 6.8 x 6.8 inches | | Manufacturer | U-C Coatings Corporation | | Material | Polymer | | Material Type | Polymer | | Model | Anchorseal 2 Green Wood Sealer Gallon | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | ANCHORSEAL2 GALLON | | Style | Protection | | Style Name | Protection | | Surface Recommendation | Wood | | UPC | 094922924490 | | Unit Count | 128 Fluid Ounces | | Water Resistance Level | Moisture Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ANCHORSEAL 2 - **Item Weight:** 8.7 pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.7 x 6.8 x 6.8 inches - **Material:** Polymer - **Style:** Protection ## Images ![ANCHORSEAL 2 Hybrid Log & Lumber end Grain Sealer - Water-Based Wax & Polymer... - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81y4ADq93oL.jpg) ![ANCHORSEAL 2 Hybrid Log & Lumber end Grain Sealer - Water-Based Wax & Polymer... - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815n4s7hC0L.jpg) ![ANCHORSEAL 2 Hybrid Log & Lumber end Grain Sealer - Water-Based Wax & Polymer... - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LxXEspbOL.jpg) ![ANCHORSEAL 2 Hybrid Log & Lumber end Grain Sealer - Water-Based Wax & Polymer... - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kejWQfUfL.jpg) ![ANCHORSEAL 2 Hybrid Log & Lumber end Grain Sealer - Water-Based Wax & Polymer... - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-HEWdtnjL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is the sq. ft. coverage per gallon?** A: Well, a gallon is 231 cubic inches, so if your coating thickness is about 4 mils (0.004 inches) then you get up to 400 square feet. However, since you want this to soak in as much as possible, you might want a thicker coat, say 10 mils (0.010 inches) which would give you about 32 square feet. What really matters is not the coverage, but the ability to seal the grain and that depends on the type and moisture content of your wood. For purchasing decisions, I would use maybe 100 to 200 sq. ft per gallon for the first trial and then use experience to determine how much for the next purchase. **Q: how often do you need to reapply this on an outdoor deck?** A: Assuming you mean to apply Anchorseal 2 to the end grain to prevent checking, you may never have to reapply. I would suggest brushing on one coat of Anchorseal 2 and two minutes later, a second coat, allowing t to fully penetrate. It will seal off the end grain while minimizing the expansion/contraction of the wood as well, since 80% of the moisture absorbed by exterior wood is absorbed through the end grain. The only exception might be if the end grain pieces are exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. I would check once a year to see if reapplication in sun exposed areas is required. If you can no longer feel a "waxy" coating you can reapply as necessary. Good luck! **Q: Can Anchorseal be applied to freshly cut logs in below freezing temperatures?** A: I wish that I could answer your question, I lie in south Louisiana and cut my timber during the late spring. Had no problem with Anchorseal at that time, sorry for delay in answering your question. Good luck. **Q: I have three big logs from an oak tree cut in my yard to use as outdoor seats. How can I protect them?** A: Read my blogs (2 pages in Facebook on Sherman Anderson/Best Tree Service.com and Sherman's Spinning Tops.com. I have removed 4,412 trees since 1992 and serve 680 customers in Mtn. View, AR. This week we removed a 55' post oak 30" diameter trunk. It's five saw logs will be construction material for my ground man's new house he is building.

Wipe off any drips if you plan on varnishing later. *by C***. on January 25, 2026* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - ANCHORSEAL 2 Log & Lumber end Grain Sealer - Prevents up to 90% of end Checks (Drying Splits) on Cut Ends of Wood & Decks.
