End Sealer efficacy- Time will tell
Based on other woodworkers/hobbyists, their recommendations and advice led me to this product. Also advised brushing the sawdust off prior to brushing or rolling 2 coats on the lumber ends. We'll see how well it does in several months (compared to 2 other products I put on several maple logs, all from the same tree) milled the same day as Rocklers End Sealer rolling and brushing onto, above and below edges, as well into the crotch pieces. Will update ratings in the future.

No more 45.00 a gallon Anchorseal2 for me.
This product works great. It is half the price of anchorseal 2. This will always be my go to sealer in the future. I was getting so used to buying the Anchorseal that now when I purchase from Rockler sealer, I purchase 2 gallons at a time due to that is what I was paying for one of anchorseal.

Good buy
This product seems to work very well so far. I use it to seal the ends of logs. I've used about half of the gallon so far and was hoping it would go a little further than it does. I had used latex paint in the past and this product works far better than paint did.

I have a cross section of a large stump that I'm hoping to use for a table top. I applied a couple of coatings of this product to both sides of the wood. So far so good.

Great end seal
I'm new to this and as you can see I bought the smaller bottle and applied using brush on the freshly cut ends on all ten of them while I wait for them to dry and eventually make them into cutting boards and or to turn them into bowls. Each one of these averages in 1' 2" to 1' 5" in diameter and I still have some left over. I notices some sap coming through later in the day and I brushed more on them. Easy clean as instructed used hot water only to clean my brush. So far so good. Thanks to one of the Rockler sales rep. who introduced me to this stuff. I am definitely going to buy more of this stuff. See the photo I attached.

The comments
Donald K R on Jul 1, 2018
will this product be a good choice for a tree slab recently cut that will become a table top? How difficult is it to remove in one years time?
B R on Oct 28, 2015
BEST ANSWER: The sealer is easy to remove but it will not stop all checking. It helps but depending on the size and thickness, you will have to remove cracks near the ends of the wood after a year. You can try sealing the ends and then place wood in plastic to slow drying and minimize cracks, but then a year may not be long enough.
What is the shelf life?
John S on Mar 11, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I can confirm that I've had my gallon bottle for about two years. I used some last week and noticed that it is starting to get somewhat thicker in consistency. The bottle has about 1/4 gallon left in it. This is a good product and really helps retard the end grain splitting. Worked great on Walnut, Maple and Cherry, but not as effective on Pin Oak. I am sure moisture content of the wood had something to do with it. Put it on immediately after cutting the wood.
Do you seal only the ends or any cut surface of the log, i.e., if the log is cut vertically in half do you need to seal the exposed cut?
Patty on Aug 6, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I seal the endgrain and then bring the sealer over the ends a couple inches on the fresh cut parts. On some woods that check in the center I brush it down the center. Fruit woods, Holly and Madrone I cover all cut sections especially if I know I won't be getting to it for a while.
Will this work on fence boards. I have a board on board fence and the boards soak up the rain from what's trapped by the 1" keeper trim?
Scott K on Jan 5, 2018
BEST ANSWER: This is ot the right product.You need a sealer made for fences.I used olympic worked great on my wood fence has been 3 years still working good
The SDS for this product brings up the SDS for Anchor Seal. So is this product a dilute version of Anchor Seal?
Colter on Feb 1, 2018
BEST ANSWER: It appears to be Anchor Seal, works like Anchor Seal, and does not appear to be diluted. Fine product. I would purchase again.
After I use this product can I sand and shape the wood or do I apply after sanding and shaping?
Jason V on Jun 18, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Both. My primary use for it is in treating logsI have harvested from my place so they will dry slowly without cracking. If I turn a green bowl I will seal as well. Whe it is dry then I will finish the turning. No sanding or other working it until dry. Mike Egan
Would you recommend an end dealer or pentacryl for round cookies?
Jo's project on Nov 9, 2018
BEST ANSWER: The ends sealer left a texture on the wood that took a long time to sand out. I didn’t like it
