Sanding sealer is applied after wood stain but before protective coating to achieve a smooth finish. It can be used on stained or bare wood, and makes sanding easier and produces finer dust. It also seals the stain to prevent discoloration and bleeding, and adds an extra layer of protection to the wood.
Sanding sealer is a product that helps woodworkers achieve a smooth, even finish on wood furniture and other projects. It is typically applied after any desired wood stain, but before any protective coating or finish. By design, the smoothing sealer acts as a sandable sealer, meaning it can be easily sanded after application without affecting its effectiveness on the wood. The abrasive sealer is typically very thin and dries very quickly to condition the wood. By applying smoothing sealer during the finishing process, woodworkers minimize rough textures and create a smooth finish.
This product can be applied to stain or bare wood, depending on the desired look. Once the stain has dried, the sealer is applied to the entire surface using a brush or foam pad. The sealant should then be allowed to dry completely before proceeding.
Afterwards, the wood is sanded until the surface is smooth and even. You can use a non-stick cloth to collect excess sanding dust and ensure that the surface is clean. Finally, the wood can be finished with a protective polyurethane or varnish as required.
The smoothing sealer eliminates bumps or rough spots on the surface of the wood, leaving it smooth to the touch. It also makes harder woods, like oak or ash, easier to sand with less effort. Finally, sanding sealer causes the wood to produce a fine dust when sanded, rather than rougher chunks. This makes cleaning easier and produces a finer finish on the wood.
This product also helps create a better look to the stained wood beyond its texture. It seals the stain to minimize discoloration over time and fills the pores so the stain covers the surface more evenly. By filling these empty pores, the smoothing sealer prevents the stain from penetrating too deeply into the wood and leaving dark spots in some areas. The sanding sealer also prevents the stain from bleeding into unwanted areas on the wood surface.
While some woodworkers might be tempted to skip the sanding sealer and stick to the stain and clear coat, this sealer typically results in a higher quality finish. Adds an extra layer of protection to the wood by sealing moisture out of the pores. Working with the protective finish to minimize moisture infiltration, the smoothing sealer improves the life of both the wood and its finish. This reduces the risk of warping or swelling and extends the life of the part compared to those not treated with this type of sealant.
