I think water works.
There is no latex paint in Anchor Seal.

It can be thinned with water, this is commonly done when being sprayed on.
I use a brush because I don't have a large pile to seal at once. I work by myself and do a couple of pieces at a time. I don't see any loss of the products efficiency, just takes a bit longer in some cases.
A sprayer is faster for large amount of coverage and it's also easy to apply a few thin coats, rather than one thick one.
Also I'll add this.
I use Anchorseal 2
The normal price is about $45 per gallon, which is the largest size container anyone carries.
I buy it fron UC Coatings direct by the 5 gallon pail. With shipping of $50 (ouch) the price is about $32 per gallon to my front door.
$50 is probably one of the highest shipping prices, NJ-CA
If you can, I strongly suggest buying in bulk.
This can be an (another) advantage of being in a turning club - the club or a member may buy and sell it for a better price without the need to get a large quantity.
Depends if it is the old formula or the cold weather formula.
Dosen't tight bond 2 work just as good? Or is it a matter of opinion, I have been using it a couple of years.
Thanks for the input.. water it is. I have probably gone through three 5 gallon containers over the past 5 or 6 years and have never had it thicken up to were it wouldn’t pour until this year.
Yes but only less than 5% methanol, in the winter formula only. (if that's what he has)
If I had some that thickened, I would simply try adding distilled water to lower the viscosity. That small amount of alcohol only lowers the freezing point a couple of degrees. Once it freezes, it's pretty much ruined. Directions state to keep it stored above 40 degrees F, even the winter formula.
