I knew the product, but during the winter, I couldn’t find it locally.I needed to cut off some storm damaged limbs on some expensive ornamental trees. Used this to allow tree to heal and to keep insects out.

excellent product. We'll see in about a year how well it performs in the long run but so far the thickness is just right and the included applicator is convenient. I'd compare the thickness to be slightly thinner than honey but significantly thicker than normal paint. It *might* depend on your location but here in the tropics, it can be applied straight from the can. Its not too runny, not too thick, its just about perfect to allow it to get into little nooks ang crannies that need sealed. I usually want to reapply after a few hours to have the thickness i think i need on the inner wood of the cut as those sections are usually "planed-like" smooth from my ARS saw, thus it tends to spread thin initially on those areas.... Sometimes i go for a third coating when the wood is moist which also tends to dilute and thin the paint.March 3, 2017 update: so far so so good and im pretty much sold on it. Ive read these sealer or paint products arent needed and that its better for the tree to "naturally heal itself" but based on experience, using this definitely makes a difference in speeding up the healing while minimizing rot. Before i had this product, I once cut the 1.5" diameter top of a durian tree to a branch and it eventually rotted and created a weak point for the top branch due to the rotting wound. I did a very similar cut on another tree but used this sealer afterwards and the difference is night and day. Several months later, theres minimal rotting, if at all, and i can see the tree callous closing the wound better and faster. Ill likely buy again when mine runs out.July 16 2018 UPDATEStill completely sold on it. At first I thought I needed to reapply this until the tree completely enclosed the wound with callus but that seems unnecessary. Even though the bark will stretch over time and expose bare bark on the stretched portions of the bark as it develops callus over the open wound, by then, it seems like the open wound has developed a protective layer underneath it's surface to prevent it from rotting. I didn't cut the wound open to verify this but that's just my guess based on the fact that the wound doesn't dry up and disintegrate as it did in untreated wounds in the past. Other people may have other experiences so definitely this is a product to atleast try because it May work for you as it did for me. Thank you for the makers of this excellent product!!Definitely highly recommended you try it!

It did the job, we had a large branch break off our tree and we didn't know this existed but thank goodness we found it.

My dogs ran smack into my 1 year old Bing Cherry tree. They snapped it in half. I was able to make the two surfaces together then apply this paste, wrap it in a plastic stretch tape and brace it.Six months later I was able to remove brace and tape. The tree was solid again. I was so freaking happy. I then left the brace attached for the next season and at the end, 3 days ago I removed the brace and applied another coat to the area.Warning this product can be messy and will permanently stain clothing. However, with how good this product is I don't mind.

I used the product on freshly cut tree limb stubs at various application angles. It took me several days of cutting, opening and closing the can often, the product stayed fluid all the time. Even with the product lightly dripped on the can threades the lid would always come off. Once applied the product dried fairly quickly even on a vertical cut. The brush is attached to the lid on the underside, it extends to nearly the bottom of the can so one can easily remove most of the material. The final tar may need to be poured onto another surface and transfdered via the brush to the cutting. One can lasts for a lot of cutting as long as not that much is brought out on the brush at a time. The tar solution stuck well to the freshly cut tree stubs. As an amateur, I thought it worked well and I was not coated with it by the end of the day(s).
