When handling the wood on the furniture side I would not be happy with anything except anchor seal touching my saw blades...still try not to hit it, but no complaints from customers when they can see the end grain and still avoid checking.

Harbor freight roller, heavy nap, and anchor seal with screw top and handle, dream combination

I'm cutting bowl blanks for woodturning next week. A friend just bought 1 gallon of clear Elmer's Glue. We are going to try that and see how it compares to Anchor Seal. 

Currently price for Anchor Seal looks to be about $35/ gal. Price for Elmer's Glue - $9 / gal. 

Anyone try Elmer's Glue?

I use Anchorseal most of the time
But I also use Titebond glue 3 cups of glue 1 cup of water.
 Both work great.

For bowl blanks I have used glue. I slather on a thick coat, then stick on a layer of glossy paper. Like advertisements and old magazines. It's worked very well on stock up to 8" thick. It was just an idea to simulate a vapor barrier, maybe glue by itself would work just as well.

You can get the non toxic wood glue for about $11-13 a gallon with free shipping from a lot of places if you have other things to order. amazon, target, etc.

seems to work better than anchorseal and it also dries clear so you can still see the grain for cuts.
