Product Description

ANCHORSEAL 2 is a hybrid of plant-based polymers and wax that protects the ends of green logs and lumber from end checking and splitting. AS2 controls the rate of moisture loss during air drying for hardwood, exotic hardwood decking and softwood. It is a high-performance, economical choice for sealing green wood and fresh cut lumber. ANCHORSEAL 2 is best-in-class for the protection of deck end cuts for exotic hardwood species. When carefully applied to the freshly cut ends of tropical hardwoods, such as ipe, Brazilian cherry, mahogany, teak, cumaru & tigerwood, AS2 prevents up to 90% of end checking, protecting your investment and extending the life of the deck. It is also a preferred end grain sealer of the woodworking industry for wood bowls, turning blanks, cookies & live-edge wood slabs.

Features:

Prevents up to 90% of end checks and drying splits on logs and freshly cut lumber • Hybrid formula combines wax with natural plant-based polymers • Can be applied to all species of hardwood or softwood

• Helps prevent blue stain and sapstain caused by damaging fungi • Water based, non-toxic formula, 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 2 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 from U·C Coatings
  • 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
  • If applying to the cut ends of deck boards: apply ANCHORSEAL 2 carefully with a thin brush or sponge applicator. To avoid potential staining, do not allow ANCHORSEAL 2 to get on the face of the boards.
  • If you need a deck end cut sealer that penetrates below the surface of wood that can be painted or stained over, we recommend SEAL ENDS ONCE (also made by U-C Coatings)

Cleanup & Storage

  • Clean application equipment using hot soapy water
  • Store unused ANCHORSEAL 2 above 50°F/10°C to prevent freezing. Winterized formulas will protect against freeze damage

    Customers are satisfied with the dripping of the wood finish. They mention that it dries well, covering the wood as expected, and drier than expected. It starts out milky white and stains the wood, but within 12-24 hours it stains pretty much transparent. The cement dry even faster and enables them to obtain a clear wax sealer good for protecting wood and composite deck board. It also slows drying time and reduces checking.

    Customers are mixed about the seal. Some mention it works great to seal hardwood decking, and is an excellent product for sealing green material. However, others say that the gallon containers had leaked somewhat inside the box, and the lid was leaking around the seam. The seal is a bit thin and tends to drip, but soaks into the end grains.

    Leaked out a bit.. beware!
    Well I tried to get this locally, but most places did not have it or, it was in a quart size at a ridiculous price. I tried to get it locally because I've seen quite a few reviews where this happened and leaked all over... but at the prices of it or something similar this was worth it this time because I lost only a tiny bit of product.
    Thank you for your feedback
