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

tried a couple of coats of old left over latex paint on the expsosed
ends or does anyone think this will work?

I've used old latex with so-so success. If it is still pretty much the
normal consistency you'll need to put on several coats in my experience,
to equal the protection you get from Anchorseal. Once however I had
some *really* old latex which was more the consistency of pudding.
We're talking thick. I painted that on, and it worked great. I
estimated it was about the equivalent of five coats of regular latex.

S'later...
