Where to Buy Anchor Seal
 

What type of store would sell Anchor Seal? I'd like to find a local source
here on Long Island to purchase some.

Thanks,
Bernie

Most of your regular woodworking outlets will have a functionally
equivalent product under their own name. Rockler's is called Green Wood
Sealer, and works pretty well. Pretty sure Woodcraft has a similar
product.

There in lies the sick joke. There are no "regular woodworking outlets" on
Long Island. No Rocker's, no Lee Valley, no Woodcraft, no nothing! We live
18 miles from the center of the known world, and there are no woodworking
stores.

That's why I'm looking for an alternate source. What other industries would
use it?

I gather you don't want to buy it by mail from UC Coatings who make it. They
are in NYstate I think. Is there a turning club nearby that may buy in bulk
and sell it to members?

Well, found the answer. According to the manufacturor, no one sells it on
Long Island, hahahaha. This may be a business opportunity!

They were nice enough folks and a bucket is on the way. I suspect the UPS
man will not be happy to carry that one up the front steps, hahaha.

One that doesn't, at least here, is the timber industry. They don't put
anything but log marks on the ends.

Building maintenance places might have water emulsion wax.

I was hoping to pick some up today while out running errands, till I found
out they have no distribution on the island, hahahaha. I ended up ordering
from UCC directly. It will be here in a couple of days. Hopefully in time
before the tree man cuts down the neighbor's sycamore tree. Unfortunately
they are in the wrong end of NY for me, hahaha.

If you don't have the Anchorseal and the tree gets cut you can always put a
good coat of old latex paint on it. IMO, it is not as effective as
Anchorseal but it would help a lot until you get it. I don't know how
sensitive sycamore is to quick cracking but keep it out of the hot sun.

In a pinch, wrap the ends in plastic wrap until the sealer gets there..

Bernie,
If your neighbor gets ahead of you, and you have some, just use some
scrap latex paint on the ends of the logs. That is all I ever use and
have had no problems. Of course, I live in Georgia where the
humidity is always high. cut your logs long enough so you can
trim off any checking that occurs in the short term.
I have a piece of sycamore that is painted on both ends that has
been outside for about 4 months and it has no checking.
If you need to buy some latex, you can usually buy returns of
custom mixed cheap at Lowes, Home Depot or some paint stores.
Lot cheaper than Anchor Seal.

Dang - I didn't know there was any wood to turn on Long Island!

You know its funny, but there is a boutique lumber company on the north
shore that specializes in local wood that is not indigenous. They buy local
tress that have been cut down from peoples yards and process them. Many
people have special trees in their yard that do not grow naturally around
here.

Wow, clever that! It's nice to know they're being used instead of just
filling up the landfill. I'm sort of surprised though as neighborhood
trees are notorious for nails and such. Bet some pretty wood comes out
of there though...
