What are the advantages of using a sealer before coating my floors with a solvent based coating?
A sealer is designed to penetrate into the surface of the timber, which aids in adhesion. The fast drying properties of the sealers also can assist in entrapping natural oils etc. into the timber, therefore not effecting the finish coats. The benefit for the customer is that the sealers are generally thinner in consistency which makes them easier to apply and are dry enough in about an hour to continue with the finish coats.
