greetings all;
I have just been presented with 2 pieces of Yellowbox gum - 100mm in diameter and about 900mm in lenght, and 4 pieces of stringybark of much the same proportions.
I wish to allow these pieces to dry a while and make use of them later.
My question is: what is an appropriate medium to seal the end grain with?
I vaugly remember reading an article which refered to using "pink" timber primer. I have also noticed that some timber is supplied with a wax seal on the ends.
At this point in time I have opted for the only paint I have availabe which is an acrylic sealer/undercoat.
