Ipe Seal® is a wax emulsion sealant designed to enhance the structural integrity of wood by preventing end checking (drying splits) in freshly sawn logs, lumber, turning blanks, and other exposed wood surfaces. End cuts are particularly vulnerable to the elements, requiring extra protection to prevent water intrusion that can lead to swelling, mold, mildew, warping, and cupping.

Ipe Seal® prolongs the life of wood and is proven effective on exotic hardwoods, thermally modified wood, softwoods, and pressure-treated (PT) lumber. Protect your investment from unsightly end checking and splitting with ease, as DeckWise® offers reliable solutions for both inventory and on-site materials to ensure long-lasting results.

Warning: As a wax emulsion, do NOT apply Ipe Seal® to the surface of a board, as it may create a slippery surface.

One quart of Ipe Seal® covers approximately 500 sq. ft. of board end grain, while 16 oz. covers 250 sq. ft. It's highly recommended to protect end grain cuts to avoid checks and splits. However, due to variations in wood species, climatic conditions, and individual application methods, results are not guaranteed.

Do Not Apply To Walking Surface!

The sooner our sealer is applied to exposed end grain (and face grain of turnings and carvings), the more effective the coating will be. Application is recommended to the wood within 24hrs of cutting. Apply with brush strokes from the bottom edge upwards towards the top edge without allowing any product onto the walking surface of the board.

This End Sealer may cause color or shading changes in wood, depending on species, dryness, handling or other natural variables. Test on ends of sample piece(s) and let stand for 24 hours if this possibility is of concern.
