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?

This brings up an interesting point: has anyone attempted to brew their own
wax emulsion end-grain sealer?? It wouldn't seem to be too difficult, but
to be honest I haven't tried it, nor do I know the chemistry involved to
attempt it. Am I incorrect that Anchorseal is little more than wax--like
beeswax--dissolved in a volatile solvent?

Any ideas?
