Oil-based Seal-A-Cell is a unique combination of oils and waxes that penetrates deep into wood, highlighting its natural beauty with a "close to the wood" finish. Seal-A-Cell ambers over time while providing water- and chemical-resistance.
Seal-A-Cell is designed to be used as a basecoat for GF Arm-R-Seal but can be used as a stand-alone finish. It can also be used as a wood conditioner to control the penetration of stains or intermix with GF oil-based stains to dilute or create custom colors.
Also available in pints.

The product works very well sealing and bringing out the color of the grain. I used the product on a pecan timber mantel and also on mesquite slab tables and was very pleased with the results.
