Hi Jim

Jim, Latex paint does slow the drying down very little, You know that
painting with oil paint on wet wood you'll get bubbles, latex does
not, it lets the water through.
I have more luck with strapping a plastic bag around the ends, or
using Anchorseal, and then it helps only for so long, depending where
you are able to place that wood.
Off of the ground, out of the sun and out of the wind, does increase
the time you'll be able to store it, that's the way I do it, good
luck.

Have fun and take care

I have a bunch of fresh cut walnut limb,crotches and stumps available
now and would like to seal the end grain for future use. Anchorseal is
not available easily in this area and seems expensive. Has anyone
tried a couple of coats of old left over latex paint on the expsosed
ends or does anyone think this will work?
