ANCHORSEAL Classic is a best-in-class premium wax emulsion end grain 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 this end grain sealer. It was the first 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. This end grain sealer is also widely used in the woodworking industry to protect debarked logs, wood turning blanks, log "cookies," and live edge slabs.
