Manns Trade Shellac Sanding Sealer

Does what is says on the tin

First time using a product like this. Difference to subsequent staining is dramatic!

Easy to use and builds an excellent finish. Suitable to use on its own or as a base for other finish treatments.

All good, did a nice job of sealing up some nasty mdf . Can recommend, dries nice and quick.

Quick drying sealer for my turnings which gives a good finish prior to final treatment.

Easy on and brings out the true timber colour

be aware if stored over time you should regularly turn container to remix sealer as it quickly settles out

I've been using shellac sanding sealer for many years as a base for wax finishes and melamine spray. It provides a perfectly smooth surface when lightly sanded with a fine finishing paper. Very easy to use and dries very quickly so you don't have to wait long before applying your next coat, whatever that is to be.

Should last a long time and covers easily

The staff were very helpful,polite and efficient.

First I ordered the stripped pine in a 400m size. When I opened the tin it was like jelly all soft and runny, I though this strange as I have had this wax before in a different colour. It still however did the job. I later ordered the same in a 5ltr which was more like a solid wax. Not sure if this was a faulty batch? nevertheless it will not distract me from buying this again, it is brilliant!

Ideal sanding sealer help prevent bleed through when using light colours for finishing.

Will last me a few years, comparatively speaking.

Simple to use and outstanding finish really brings the grain of wood to life.

Plenty of body. Fast drying. Easy to sand. Better than our usual brand.

Has save a few pieces on the lathe when the grain has refused to cooperate when sanding. Great product.

As a newbie I followed the finishing instructions for the item I was building and applied the stain after this. Bit of a dogs dinner - quite shiny though. Probably need to experiment a bit more

Was unsure of the appropriate product to use. The above product was perfect for the job. I requested guidance from a member of your staff. A young lady named Emma gave me a precise and accurate synopsis of my options and highlighted this as best choice. She was not wrong and I was mightily impressed by her depth of knowledge and customer care.

Sealing the frames before staining saves on the amount of stain & wax needed to finish the frames.

Use this all the time now after sanding soft woods, does the job perfectly.

Brilliant product, fast delivery. Definitely buy from here again

Quality item high shellac content easy to apply with brush. Fast dispatch and delivery.

Product purchased to apply to pine table, previously stripped and varnished a number of times, never to my satisfaction. This gave just the finish I wanted, wish I'd known about it thirty years ago.

Fantastic results, added a little colouring to obtain the finish I requires. Easy to use, well produced. Thank you.

Used this to seal the colour stain on a guitar body before applying clear coats. brushed on a few coats of the shellac and sanded it back flat. Great way to prime and even out the wood before spray finishing. lots in the tub too so I can use this many times.

Manns shellac sanding sealer, this stuff is so easy to use it can be left after 2 coats or rubbed down agian with steel wool and a coat of whatever you are finishing off with put on. Very fast drying, easy to use and a great finish... It ticks all my boxes, which reminds me that I must order more soon.

We buy this product often from this company and no complaints yet, never had a delivery problem and you get what you asked for at a good price, Product is super, buying in bulk pays off !

Great product and a super fine finish can be achieved quickly, however i used a water based varnish over this as a top coat and found it was peeling off in places. Next time i would use a second coat of this product and wax polish.

My first use of this product was on some pieces of Wenge which has a quite open grain even after scraping. Manns shellac was rubbed in with a cloth and after rubbing back with 400 paper a second coat applied and after rubbing back and polishing attained a very good finish. An excellent product.

I've not used this product before but I'll be using it again! The bottle allowed me to do 4 doors.

Excellent delivery from Wood-Finishes-Direct. Will buy from them again. As the products are manufactured by other companies it is not appropriate to review the products themselves in this forum.

I used this to stop bleed though when using chalk paint, I applied three coats and this stopped it.

I like this shellac. I have used it on two furniture pieces so far to stop knotting and a stain coming through the paint and it worked a treat. It dries very quickly which is an added bonus. A little goes a long way.
