can you get that anchorseal at home depot, true value or ace??

[wade clark]

Hi_Ho,
I've never seen it at Ace or Home Depot. Don't have a True Value near me. It sells on ebay, but it seems they gouge on shipping. Every place else I found on the web wanted more than Highland Hardware ($14.99 per gallon, $54.99 for 5 gallons which comes in 5 one-gallon cans) plus actual shipping. I go for the 5 and usually have it in 2 days!
It's sure kept my oak bird chairs from cracking or checking, and they were very green when I started.

I used some polyurithaine I had to seal the ends of my diamond willow sticks. Seems to be working. I cant remember the site I purchased from.+

MrYooper,
I'd think that'd work great on a stick end. It might work ok on a wet-green log too, I don't know.

There is a spray sealer ad well. Probable cheaper then buying a can of the anchorseal and having it go to waste. I had mine anchorseal ..sealed lol and it went to a cottage cheese look. I might be able to get it back the way it was.

here is a site for ancor seal

I would suggest you ask if it has a anti-freeze in it as well. Companies that sell anchorseal from the south dont have it in it. Us cold bloods would need it. Just some information to know.

Wade you might look into this site www.woodnshop.com to see if they are any more comparable in price. Ron

Ron,
That link sells Anchorseal for $14.49 a QUART!!! Highlands sells it for $14.99 a GALLON! They want $44 a gallon, Highlands wants $54.99 for 5 gallons. Big difference! Maybe their catalog is a mis-print, but I've bought probably 15 gallons from Highland and their price is right!

Mryooper,
That link is to Highland Hardware, where I buy my Anchorseal! It's printed small up top when you go to the link. We're on the same page!

I have heard using a wax seal for toilets, new of course, is a cheap and easy way to go. I sealed the ends of some aspen I cut this spring, the carving wood looks good, the burning wood looks just about ready to burn.
By the way, I tried pentacryl on one whole peeled piece, and I don't know that I would recommend it. It feels funky and changes the color of the wood.

I just use sealing wax from the kitchen...works fine, you have to melt the corner to get it on the wood, but it does a good job
