I don't understand the hesitation with anyone buying Anchor Seal.

Ed, I know my situation is different; but here in Cayman the cost of shipping in Anchor Seal is ridiculous.. With that in mind, I need to find an alternative product that is already available. for that reason I use paraffin.  I can get it. It works OK. and it is affordable.  Now if I did not have those constraints I agree with you; just buy it.

We all know that you're a special situation Len,  Grin

As I said, home made recipes and methods can work just fine but unless you have a situation like Len, there's really no point.
I'm not trying to be hard headed about this but sealing wood is an essential part of woodturning, (unless all you use is kiln dried lumber) not an area to cut corners.
No pun intended  Undecided

It's important that we always try to help each other out.  Send me a round trip plane ticket Len and I'll bring some Anchorseal with me so you won't have to pay shipping on it.

Can you bring a 55 gal drum of it with you? if so I might take you up on it.  Grin.  (that's a lot of excess baggage.)
But you have to pay for the beer.
