Product Description

ANCHORSEAL Classic is a best-in-class premium wax emulsion end sealer used for the prevention of end checks (drying splits) in both hardwood & softwood logs or lumber. By controlling the rate of moisture loss, up to 90% of end checks can be prevented when applying ANCHORSEAL. It was the 1st end grain sealer introduced to the log & lumber industry by U-C Coatings in 1980 and is still considered the best end grain protection you can get for logs & lumber. It is also widely used in the woodworking industry to protect, debarked logs, wood turning blanks, log "cookies" and live edge slabs.

Features:

• Prevents up to 90% of end checks and drying splits on logs and freshly cut lumber • Can be applied to all species of hardwood or softwood

• Helps prevent blue stain and sapstain caused by damaging fungi • Water based, non-hazardous, no solvents, soap & water clean-up • Available in clear or more than 35 colors • Winterized formulas available

Coverage: 100 sq. ft./gallon, depending on application method and wood species.

Surface Preparation

  • All areas to be coated should be clear of dirt and debris

Application

  • Apply ANCHORSEAL using a brush, roller or sprayer until it begins to drip slightly
  • For optimal coverage, use a gas engine, electric, air operated or backpack sprayer
  • If using spray equipment other than those sold by U·C Coatings, use 0.21”/0.55 mm tip or larger
  • Logs larger than 24”/60 cm in diameter will require a heavier coating, or two coats must be applied within a 15 minute period

Cleanup & Storage

  • Clean application equipment using hot soapy water
  • Store unused ANCHORSEAL above 50°F/10°C to prevent freezing. Winterized formulas will protect against freeze damage
