Mill 'em, nails be damned.
Latex paint.
Anchorseal.
Paraffin wax.
These seem to be the main options. Reclaimed or should that be re-purposed (?) latext paint seems to be the cheapest option but most people consider it not as good as Anchorseal or paraffin wax.
The latter I can get at good prices. But how best to 'cut' it to keep it liquid for easier handling out in the field? I've read of using turps or a water-based thinner.
If turps, I've read a 50:50 blend of turps and paraffin.
If water based, I've read of a few different approaches. One is equal parts water and any type of oil to lower the melting point of the final solution, and water (with an experimental amount of liquid dish detergent ).
Has anyone settled on a homebrewed paraffin wax based recipe they find works well and can you share it please? Thanks.
