Re: Apple Wood responses

Wax. I suppose if you had a hell of a blender you might be able to emulsify your own from canning wax, water and a bit of surfactant. That's detergent, Leif.

The military is about the only place I know who use water emulsion wax to this day - buff marks show effort - but you might want to check with a building maintenance supply place. The wax I spread was a little thinner than Anchorseal, but should do in two coats.

Many thanks, I but I am unfamiliar with "Anchorseal" which was mentioned in > a couple of replies. > I take it that it is a local product name used in your vicinity. > Any idea what it is called in Australia?

Graham Anchorseal is a wax emulsion log sealer.

Thefolks who make it may have an Australian dealer. Seems to me that soapmakers use emulsified wax too?

Oh my, yes! Wax emulsions are used all over the place and in too many industries to count. From pills and candy coatings (carnauba wax emulsions mostly) to some circuit board applications (several different types and blends of wax emulsions) it is used. I still have a supply of some wax emulsions that I got from several companies for testing. I don't like the stuff for my own uses and opt for just straight, dry forms now.
