In this video, I demonstrate a practical, budget-friendly approach to sealing green wood turnings and smaller woodturning blanks to significantly slow down moisture loss and prevent frustrating cracks and splits.
The main focus is using melted paraffin wax in a thrift store electric skillet. I'll show you the exact temperature settings required to melt the wax safely without it overheating or reaching its flash point. We also talk about how this method compares to other common DIY and commercial sealers like AnchorSeal, carpenters glue, and old latex paint.
