Sealing End Grain PlywoodHigh Density Particle board

Mar 01, 2006 3 Replies

Recently installed some casework and in a couple of places end grain is exposed and the customer wants us to seal that. Both plywood and particle board suck up coatings and I am curious what would work best to seal those surfaces.



Years ago I saw some cabinets with their bases sealed with something they called shellac with a lot of wax - does that make any sense - it really sealed the wood.



Anybody got any suggestions?



Thanks



Seems like Anchorseal from uccoatings would work. It's wax in a polyglycol matrix, and it permeates really well. It would leave a thin layer of wax on the surface, but you could wipe that off. Cheers, G

Why not edge band the exposed board edge?
