Forum Responses
From contributor L: From what I've read (note: no experience), wood doesn't dry fast at winter temperatures. This means that you should have some leeway in getting the ends coated when it's really cold out. From contributor R: The inside of lumber does not dry much in the winter but the ends start checking and cracking fast due to dry winds. If there is snow on the ends of the logs, shave it off with the chainsaw to get a fresh surface and get the anchor seal on there. I have not applied at -20 but I have at -5 to 0 and it works fine. From Gene Wengert, forum technical advisor: You are aware that Anchorseal has antifreeze, as an option? From contributor T: Anchorseal have winter and summer formulations. I have not tried the summer stuff in the winter but the winter stuff in the summer works fine.
