An unusual combination of oils and urethanes, Seal-A-Cell Clear has served craftsman for decades as the best way to get that "natural" look on beautiful woods that aren't to be stained.
The oils penetrate deep within the wood to highlight the warm natural look and the urethane ensures a deep hardness. Seal-A-Cell is to be used as a basecoat for GF Arm-R-Seal but can be used as a stand-alone finish. Use 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.
Seal-A-Cell can be wiped on or applied with a foam brush. Don't forget sandpaper!

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.
