Waterlox TB 3809 25F Original Marine Sealer Qt, clear

We recently built a "cabin in the woods" as a place to go and relax alone. We finished the inside with white pine tongue and groove siding. We wanted a product that was easy to apply, did not leave brush marks, and was very durable. This company's range of products is perfect! The wood sealer worked perfectly to fill in the very open pore structure of the pine with two coats. A very light sanding with 400 grit sand paper and two coats of the gloss finish and it looked better than the paint job on most new cars. No brush marks, no discolored streaks, no flaws like you get from other finishes. The company has a video on how to use their products. Watch it, and follow what they say, and you will be amazed at the result. The down side? It has a very strong smell while it is curing. Be in a very well ventilated area when you are using this. I applied it in a detached garage and left the door open. It takes about two days for the product to cure out and not smell, depending on weather and temperature. Nut the results are well worth it!

Used this for a wooden butcher block counter, turned out beautiful and durable. Lots of great videos I found online on how to apply. Easiest and best applicator I found is one you make yourself, just need a pair of old panty hose and an old cotten t shirt. Cut of a piece of pantyhose, tie a know in one end, insert a piece of the cotten t shirt that you have folded into a thick rectangle and tie a knot in the other end of the pantyhose. Lint free application and no cleanup, just throw it away when you are done. The finish dries out very hard after several weeks.

I use the Marine formula for tool handles on things I've rebuilt. It penetrates completely and dries up very well. No sticky residue left over. even with a couple coats. Waterlox on floors is similar but it does smell going on. I did hickory floors and pre-coated and I'm glad it was in the garage. great product.

Love this stuff, will use it for many projects

I'm a complete amateur at woodworking. I used Waterlox several years ago to make a wooden countertop island. I wanted the countertop to be resistant to water. The countertop turned out great because I contacted Waterlox and they were great about talking me through exactly what products to use for my specific project and the best instructions. Waterlox products were easy to work with and left a finished look that still gets compliments. Now I'm working on a new outdoor live edge table and Waterlox customer service came through again. The added confidence of getting instructions that are specific to my project is so worthwhile. I'm half way through my project and the application has been great. The only unknown left is waiting the years to determine if the long term durability of the Marine Sealer is anything like the durability of my last project. Waterlox products are great!
