56K0321 - End Sealer, 1 qt. (946ml)
This item is not available for this region.
End checking quickly degrades logs and results in a much reduced yield of top-quality lumber. This sealer, applied as soon as possible after logs are cut, virtually eliminates end checking, and can increase your yield of usable lumber by 20% on an 8' log. It is a wax emulsion that can be sprayed or brushed. It remains on the end grain after the log is cut into lumber, promoting even drying.
One quart will coat about 23.6 square feet. It can also be used to seal burls and turning squares to stabilize them until turned. Cleans up with soap and hot water.
Made in USA.
The sealer should be applied as soon as possible after cutting – ideally within hours. The faster it is applied, the more effectively it prevents end checking from beginning. Delays allow moisture to start escaping unevenly, which is what causes checks.
One quart covers approximately 23.6 square feet of end grain. Coverage will depend on the diameter of the logs and how many ends need to be treated.
Yes. In addition to logs, the sealer can be applied to burls and turning squares to stabilize them until they are ready to be turned. The same application process applies – coat the exposed end grain immediately after cutting.
No. The wax emulsion remains on the end grain after the log is cut into lumber and continues to promote even drying during seasoning. It does not need to be removed before milling.
The sealer cleans up with soap and hot water. No solvents are required, making clean-up straightforward in most workshop or outdoor settings.
