Seal Ends Once
SEAL ENDS ONCE® Premium End Sealer deeply penetrates the ends of lumber to protect against water damage and decay. The water based formula uses proprietary nanotechnology to form a flexible breathable barrier by coating the wood fibers at the cellular level.
SEAL ENDS ONCE protects the cut ends of lumber by preventing water absorption. It can be used to preserve old or new wood, extending its natural life. It is non-film forming, non-yellowing and will not alter the natural beauty of the wood.
SEAL ENDS ONCE preserves the integrity of the wood by inhibiting rot, decay, mold and mildew growth, and eliminates warping and cupping. SEAL ENDS ONCE forms a flexible breathable barrier that allows the wood to expand and contract and for water vapor to escape.
The advanced technology of SEAL ENDS ONCE penetrates and bonds to form a superior barrier below the surface, protecting from the inside out. SEAL ENDS ONCE goes on milky white and dries clear.

Application Instructions
Preparation
All surfaces should be cleaned before sealing for best penetration and performance. Remove all old coatings, dust, debris and loose material. Remove oil, grease, algae, grime, mill glaze and mold and mildew stains with appropriate cleaners. Recommend SEAL-ONCE All Wood Cleaner.
After cleaning, test absorbency of the ends by sprinkling a few drops of water. If the water does not readily penetrate the ends, sanding will be necessary to remove old coatings prior to applying SEAL ENDS ONCE.
Application
Do not use if air or surface temperature is below 45°F/7.22°C or above 95°F/35°C.
Do not apply in rain or when rain is expected within 12-24 hours.
DO NOT THIN. Mix well. Stir contents or shake thoroughly prior to use.
Test a small area to ensure acceptable appearance and penetration.
Apply first coat to end cuts using a synthetic brush or stain pad.
Second coat can be applied once fi rst coat has penetrated but is still damp. Second coat must be applied within one hour of applying first coat.
For best results, apply in the shade and out of direct sunlight.
When applying in direct sunlight and wood surface is hot, spray with a mist of water and apply SEAL ENDS ONCE immediately on dampened surface.
Use only with other SEAL-ONCE® waterproofing products.
Wood can be painted or stained as soon as it dries in approximately 2-3 hours.
Coverage
Approximate coverage: 250-350 sq. ft./gallon per coat. Actual coverage will vary due to porosity of surface.
Drying Time
Allow approximately 2-3 hours for surface to dry, depending on temperature and humidity.
Allow 12-24 hours for full cure, depending on temperature and humidity.
When recoating, apply once previous coat has penetrated and surface is damp, not wet. Second coat must be applied within one hour of applying the first coat.
Cleanup & Storage
Clean all application equipment with warm soapy water.
Store above 32°F/0°C to protect from freezing.
Shelf life (unopened): 3 years.
Disposal: soap and water cleanup; no special disposal procedure needed.
Precautions
Protect adjacent areas from overspray and runoff including windows and siding. Immediately remove overspray with soap and water.
Avoid breathing in spray. If inhaled, move to fresh air.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashed into eyes, rinse with clean water for 15 minutes.
If skin irritation occurs, wash area with soap and water.
If accidentally ingested, immediately drink 2 glasses of water and contact a physician. Do not induce vomiting.
