Customer Reviews for Varathane 1-qt. Woodcare Sanding Sealer (2-Pack)

Water soluble is ideal for application and cleanup. Works well on uneven surfaces like the found wood I use to produce my artwork. Easily dabbled into small crevices. to seal wood for future application of final finish.

Great sealer. I have used this for years and never a issue. I spray a polyester finish and other finishes by Mohawk. Never had a issue with some of the other reviews. My quests is they are using the product incorrect. Great product and will continue to use.

I bought this because other people recommended it but I was thoroughly disappointed in it. Im hoping I can return them because this stuff was not worth $30

Not too thick and sticky. Goes on smooth and has a soft shine. Very nice. Would buy again!

It raised the grain and the finish was much rougher than I would expect. I sanded it off.

I did not care for this product. It was supposed to dry clear but it did not. It leaves a very white look. I had to buy a different product.

Easy to use. With two coats it covered well and hardens like oil base.

I ask for oil base and assume my clerk knew the difference, but I was wrong my fault I didn't look myself if you don't want to finish your Wood projects with oil base hire a professional this stuff cost me hours of extra work on my hardwood floordon't use this crap hire a professional if you don't like to clean up with spirits

This is less of a review and more of a help to people who have already used this product and are now scrambling to fix the milky white coating it leaves after drying. To be clear: I followed so instructions and used the sealer under the circumstances (temperature and humidity) called for on the container. Maybe I 'applied too much' as other users are being lambasted for doing by the company, if what I did is too much I'm not really sure what exactly they were expecting of me. If you find yourself with, say, a nice dining room table you had taken a few days to sand and stain and then upon applying this sealer before finishing and are now staring at a milky white finish on your nice stain, don't panic (like I did). Using some simple alcohol based hand sanitizer and a rag you can remove the milky white coating with just a few wipes. I have no idea if this also removes the sealer and don't really care at this point. Don't buy of you're considering and breathe easy if you already have.

It works great in smoothing out the bowl when you are sanding a bowl than has a surface the you just can not get a final cut when you are turning a bowl.

Pulls the grain out far too much, water based sanding sealer is not the way to go.

Only purchased because there was no Zinsser sand sealer in stock goes on too milky for me and also did not darken wood at but that might be good for some applications but did not seal as good as Zinsser on first coat

This is thick white goooo that take forever to dry even in the dry climate of Las Vegas. It is ruff raised grain finish on oak and should not even be allowed to be sold. Who are they trying to kid? I will never buy another Varathane crap product again, Rustoleum owned or not it is CRAP!

Good Quality, more coverage and easy to apply

Did the job. Not sure if it sealed the wood from water or moisture though

The Varathane sanding sealer applies easily with easy soap and water cleanup, Applied with a 3/8" in x 4in Purdy roller. Dried quickly and clear. Great for ceiling countertop boards and wood. I would recommend it to all.

Quick and easy

Excelent producto

This product works great. This is not paint. Apply thin. an more than one coat if desire. if you panic cause is still white go have a drink is not dry. if you plaster it it will take a week to dry. I been using this for the last few years. all I used is covers that are water clean up. great advantage. oh I'm a boatwright. birch in marine I sc no good (plywood) it will lift when humidity hits it.

Didn’t need it, so I returned it.

This did an excellent job of smoothing the wood fibers down that tend to rise when painted, stained or varnished. One hour dry time was awesome.
