A wood-warming waterborne clear wood sealer exhibiting a good in-can clarity. This wood sealer has been specially formulated to enhance the timber's natural beauty by increasing the visual depth and definition of the grain structure, allowing for high clarity finishes even when overcoated with low-gloss topcoat systems. 

Use Morrells /341 Clear Wood Sealer with Morrells /332 Waterborne Lacquers for a high clarity, natural finish.

This sealer has been designed to be universally overcoatable with all of Morrells waterborne and solventborne topcoats.

High build, clear waterborne lacquers developed to enhance timber's natural beauty with a very high degree of clarity. Similar in look and durability to a high performance Pre-Catalysed lacquer. Ideal for furniture, architraves, frames and mouldings. Use where high physical and chemical resistance is not required.

/332 is easy to spray with especially good hold-up on vertical surfaces due to its higher viscosity compared to /362 High Performance Waterborne Lacquers.

Use coat-on-coat or after sealing with /341 Waterborne Wood-Warming Sealer for an especially clear finish.
