  • very good product
Size: 1 gal
I know this stuff is pricy but it works well Im a bowl turner and leave my blanks out side to dry but I put this on all my ends and they don't crack out like a lot of other stuff I have used and it goes a lot farther than I though it would

  • worth the cost
Size: 1 gal
I've tried several different types of end grain treatment and this is definitely the easiest to use and most effective, at least for what I do (keeping bowl blanks fresh.) It is more expensive than other options, but lasts a long time. Worth the cost, at least to me.

  • 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

  • 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

  • A good insurance policy for your wood.
Size: 1 gal
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. ... show more
