    Pentacryl ( rather pricey ) or Anchor Seal 2 are a couple options. I have not used either one yet. There are some other options out there as well. I will have to experiment as I go along.

    I have both pentacryl and anchor seal, but you would need barrels of it for high volumes!!!! Love the jig!

    Thanks, from what I have read; at least about pentacryl , it doesn't go far.
    How is the final product when it dries? I don't mind paying a little more if the end result is good.
    I don't have a lot of projects for myself; yet anyway but do have a couple lined up.
    Anchor seal 2 is certainly less expensive.

    Linseed oil and turpentine works well ,I use anchor seal on logs and it really works well JB

    Thanks JB,
    I have anchor seal I use on logs , the regular type that is almost like a liquid rubber. They say Anchor seal 2 is more of an end grain sealer that does not have the rubber consistency but I have never tried it.
    I do like to hear that linseed oil and turpentine works well. That is probably a little easier on the pocket book. Can you recommend any ratio for that mixture ?

    I usually use a 50/50 mix but you can adjust to how well it soaks in I use this to treat my cedar siding on my house it is old school learned from grand pops painting Business I have not bought linseed oil in years I am still working on left overs from pops painting business I think I still have @15 gallons left ( Hoarding strikes again) I have used the anchor seal 2 and I actually prefer the original version for logs Good luck JB

    I have almost a full gallon of boiled linseed oil if you want it. I really havent touched it in years.

    Sure , put it aside and when you come by to have cookies we can mix up a batch of tea to go with the cookies.
    I will grab a gallon of turpentine next time I go by the big box store with the orange roof.
    Fingers crossed for some warmer weather the next few days to hopefully get rid of some snow so we can get after it.
    Thanks !
