I wouldn't use car wax as I think it has silicon in it which would give you problems with finishes.Hi guys couple questions/comments. So only starting on year 3 of milling for me. I got and used up 1 gallon of Anchorseal II. Am still getting some checking with it. I heard it isn't as good as older Anchorseal I was but could not get that anyplace anymore so tried II. Not really super impressed. Seems to help a little - not much. Debating whether to buy another gallon of this or not bother.
For paint, is PRIMER any better or just latex PAINT preferred? I found Kilz latex Primer seems to work for me as good as Anchorseal II. Oil bas versus water base primer or paint? I have tried just latex paint and I get some pretty bad checking, maybe a little slightly worse than the Anchorseal II. How many coats should be used?
Anyone ever try just liquid car wax? Not cheap of course at retail but I have some I didn't pay much of anything for. Might want to try it. Thoughts on all this? thx- Paul
Then again, how much nice walnut do you cut in Alaska?? How about white or red oak?? Cherry??The checking, at least in our logs, doesn't go more than a few inches. It's much cheaper to sacrifice a few inches of log vs spending time and money gooping crap on log ends!
We did over 50k in lumber sales last year so I'm not talking out my ass.

Your post makes no sense. Where did I say anything about Walnut? Oak?
We cut lumber for framing, siding, flatbed floors, etc.
You guys can do whatever you want, I'm just sharing what I do.
