Anchorseal

[Brian George]

Is it possible to add aniline dye to CLEAR anchorseal and if so what might the formulation be?

[Mike Lipke]

I've used analyne dye, and I think it would work fine to color the AS, but the amount would depend on what it was to be used for.
Do you wand to seal the ends of logs with colored AS?

[Bernie Weishapl]

Brian why would you want to color anchorseal? Just curious.

[Joseph M Lary]

I would thing you could dye it with food coloring .Its some what water base with wax in it . They sell it colored on there wed site in red green & blue.

I'm not real versed on wood species when they're dry - so thought by coloring for different species would help me remember what I've got. I'm getting some yellow birch, white birch, black walnut, hickory, cherry, red oak, white oak, black oak and ash.
I made a trade with a sawyer in a neighboring town-pepper mills and pens for the lumber. I will sticker it here at the house and wait a year touse.

When you write the date on the block, add the species.

[Mike Lipke]

Like Steve said, you can write anything you need on the end of the block, and when the AS dries, you can read thru it.

DUH. Never heard of writing on board ends and I grew up across the street from a sawmill.
Thanks for the education guys...

[Joseph M Lary]

I just write on it with a felt pen it will get turned off when turning anyway.I date my roughed out projects that way also.

Who'da tunk it anywho. I was already doing that with blanks and blocks. Just thought that sitting outside for a year might make the writing disappear. Thanks to all for the insight and direction. By the way... Is it alright for vegetarians to eat animal crackers???
