Thanks for the replies. I neglected to say that these stumps will
remain outdoors in year round weather conditions including freezing
temperatures. Is polyerethane still the recommended solution? Thanks
again.

I have several tree stumps that I would like to protect from rotting
and insects. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can use to seal the
stumps? Thanks.

Use a polyurethane spray. Give it several coats, be sure to get all the
nooks and crannies, and coat not only the top of the stump but also the
sides (bark).
