Would two coats of latex house paint be sufficient to seal green wood or
do I have to use the wax emulsion stuff? I can get latex paint for a few
dollars per gallon, the wax emulsion stuff often sells for tens of dollars
per gallon. If I have to use the wax emulsion, where can I get the best
price?

Family business, great to deal with and their product is the best.
Works out to about $14 a gallon and it goes a long long way. So how
much is your wood worth?
I am just a really satisfied customer and have no other connection with

I buy Anchorseal in the 5 gallon pail. Use it. The wood you save will pay for
it in short order. If you belong to a turning club, share the cost. A gallon
goes a long way. Dan
