Where to Use Sanding Sealer?

A sanding sealer can be used on bare, unstained floors, doors, furniture and cabinets prior to applying either an oil-based or a water-based clear finish. It is designed as a base coat that will dry quickly, seal the pores, and sand easily with fine sandpaper to create an ultra-smooth foundation.

Should I use sanding sealer before staining?

The key is to apply a thin base coat to partially seal the wood before wood staining. Sanding sealers, dewaxed shellac and wipe-on finishes will all do the trick.

Do you sand before or after sanding sealer?

Apply 1 coat of Sanding Sealer; finish sand before applying paint.
