ANCHORSEAL Classic is a premium wax emulsion end sealer for the prevention of end checks and drying splits in hardwood and softwood logs and lumber. By controlling the rate of moisture loss, up to 90% of end checks can be prevented. APPLICATION, COVERAGE & USE Apply ANCHORSEAL to lumber or log ends as quickly as possible after end trimming, to achieve the highest level of protection against end checking and degrade. Similar in viscosity to latex paint, ANCHORSEAL is easily applied using a brush or sprayer. Coverage: 100 sq. ft./gallon (2.5 m2/liter), or three bundles of lumber (15 to 20 logs) when applied to both ends. Coverage varies depending on application method. Equipment: For optimal coverage and application, we recommend using one of the following sprayers, available from UC Coatings: #PE4102 Electric Sprayer #PD202 Air Operated Sprayer #PG6500H Gas Engine Sprayer #BP501 Backpack Sprayer If using a spraying equipment that is different from those listed above, be sure the tip has a .021" (.55 mm) or larger opening. Application: Apply as much ANCHORSEAL as the log or lumber will hold, until it begins to drip slightly. If the product does not begin to drip, you may not be applying enough product, which could result in end splits. If there is a heavy drip, you may be applying too much of the product. Logs larger than 24" (60 cm) in diameter should be coated very heavily or twice within a 15 minute period to preserve value. Clean-Up: Use hot, soapy water to clean equipment. Solvent cleaners are not needed or recommended.
