In this blog post, we will take a closer look at Anchorseal, its features, benefits, and why you should consider treating your log and lumber ends with Anchorseal.
What Is Anchorseal?
Anchorseal is a hybrid of plant-based polymers and wax, designed to protect the ends of your logs and lumber. It can be effectively used on hardwood, softwood, debarked logs, log exports, woodturning blanks, and log cookies. It works by controlling the rate of moisture loss and prevents up to 90% of drying splits. When applied to wood ends, it helps to prevent up to 90% of drying splits (more on that later). It also helps to reduce blue stain and sapstain, while improving yield given the reduced waste from split wood.
Anchorseal is water-based, non-hazardous, and contains no solvents. It is available in clear or more than 35 colors. Achorseal is available in both summer and winter formulas (which help to protect against freeze damage). Buy Anchorseal today and improve your yield by protecting against end checking and dry splitting.
How to Apply Anchorseal?
Anchorseal can be applied to woods in a variety of ways, including a sprayer, roller, and brush. First, it is important to ensure that all areas are free of dirt and debris. Apply Anchorseal to the woods evenly, until it begins to drip slightly. If your wood is longer than 24-inches in diameter, either a heavier coating will be required or a second coat should be applied (within 15 minutes of the first).
Why Does Wood Split During Drying?
Typically, the outer layers of wood tend to dry more rapidly than the interior layers. This can cause drying stresses and ruptures in the wood tissues, which results in splits and cracks occurring. Using a product like Anchorseal helps to prevent up to 90% of drying splits and reduce blue stains by controlling the rate of moisture loss.
