Ready Seal’s unique formulation allows for deep penetration into the woods surface, offering better protection than other available coatings. This deep penetration is compared to paint and solid color stain penetration in Figure 4.1 below.

The Ready Seal® Application Advantage
Ready Seal® contains all the essential elements of a quality coating for exterior wood projects. Ready Seal® is superior to other products when it comes to ease of application.
Application processes where kept in mind throughout the formulation of Ready Seal® to ensure all consumers a hassle-free application, saving time for the contractor and promising a Goof-Proof ™ process for homeowners.Typical wood coating applications require:
- A time-consuming application process
- A limited temperature range for proper application
- Back-brushing
- A process where the applicator must quickly smooth out the product being applied to prevent any unsightly runs, laps or streaks in the coating.
- Thinning or diluting when using a spray application
- A primer coat for proper adhesion
- Prolonged drying times
- Maintaining a wet-line during application to prevent dark lines where coats overlap
Ready Seal® Stain and Sealer for Wood:
- Requires no primer
- May be sprayed, rolled or brushed onto the wood surface
- Requires no diluting or thinning prior to spray applications
- Requires no back-brushing
- Ready Seal® will never leave runs, laps or streaks
- Requires no wet-line application, the product will blend itself
- Requires only 48 hours of drying time

Watch how quickly Ready Seal® spreads and penetrates the wood’s surface through capillary action, leaving no unsightly runs, laps or streaks.

To ensure continued protection against the elements of weathering, all wood coatings must be maintained to some degree. Ready Seal® is easier to maintain than other coatings used on exterior wood.
All exterior coatings begin to show signs of weathering after prolonged exposure to the elements. Table 4.3 illustrates the maintenance processes and frequency of maintenance of the different coating types typically used to protect exterior wood surfaces.
Coating Type Maintenance Process Frequency Paint Sand or scrape to remove flaking, clean wood surface and reapply topcoat when primer begins to show 7-10 years Solid Color stain Sand or scrape to remove flaking, clean wood surface and reapply topcoat when primer begins to show 3-7 years Semi-transparent stains
(Ready Seal®)Clean with detergent and reapply 3-7 years Transparent stain Clean with detergent and reapply 1-3 years Water repellent Clean with detergent and reapply 6-24 months Varnish and lacquers Sand or scrape to remove flaking, clean wood surface and reapply 6-12 months Ready Seal® Maintenance Process
Ready Seal® requires minimal maintenance when compared to other products with similar life expectancy. Because Ready Seal® penetrates the surface of the wood and does not form a film, Ready Seal® will never crack, chip, flake or peel. Gradual fading is normal over the life of the product.
Preventative Maintenance
When Ready Seal® coatings begin to lose color, but have not yet turned gray; maintenance is simple, consisting of:
- A light cleaning with detergent and water
- Let surface dry 48 hours
- Reapply Ready Seal®
Ready Seal® Restoration Maintenance
When Ready Seal® has weathered completely and the wood has turned gray, more intensive maintenance is required. To restore heavily weathered surfaces:
- Clean the wood surface with 50/50 bleach and water mixture or other wood cleaner
- Rinse bleach or cleaner thoroughly
- Neutralize any cleaners if applicable
- Let surface dry 48 hours
- Reapply Ready Seal®
