A Must If You Paint Or Stain High Tannin Woods

Woods that have a high tannin content can shift the color of paint and stain leading to a blotchy finish. This stuff prevents that from happening. I also use it to seal wood from moisture which is critical in guitar making.

Applies easily and looks great. I’ve only started testing it in prep for project application, but no issues to speak of so far.
