Within the large box of canned goods from the relocating woodworker are some gel stains, dyes, sealers. I'm wanting to make grain pop a little more, so am branching out. First up, Bullseye Sealcoat Sanding Sealer. Like the way it went on. Did a 0000 buff after it dried - almost dried, next time I'll wait a little longer. Like the way it looks. What happens if I do nothing further - no top coat. No foul? @Gene Howe , you asked me about R.Monocoat, so I assume you're using it. Have you sealed your wood or used something to enhance grain prior to R.M. ?

Good article on sanding sealers. I don't use them unless you count dewaxed shellac. I use SealCoat frequently, especially in refinishing to avoid fish eye due to silicone (Pledge) contamination, on woods with problem resins like teak and cedar, and use it enhance the figure of the wood. I had one bad experience with these. A retail customer had an end table that apparently had a too thick coat of sealer on it. While in the showroom, some minor impacts caused dents that were very white in the undercoat. I did a lot of repair to it. A few weeks later, more were back. I tried to talk the owner into letting me strip and refinish just the top. He wouldn't go for it. So another round of repairs that included removing a lot of the sealer in damaged areas. A third repair trip before it finally got sold. https://www.popularwoodworking.com/flexner-on-finishing-woodworking-blogs/flexner-on-finishing-sealers-what-are-they/?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=105914024&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8KvvAA4C_68OGcC81Bl0_PtSXQeAhC9FJ7VCc-sMlOyGUbIHF__S07S6cEgrQzpI7YK6QdM5sspCzKFzWHYg1anM6Wu32Hjd4ET-fr_77fGB8ZgPE&utm_content=105839944&utm_source=hs_email#
