PPGDFT015/01 Deft Lacquer Sanding Sealer 1 Gal

The PPGDFT015/01 is a Deft lacquer sanding sealer, 1 gallon.

Note that the brand field on this row is blank. PPG lists this as Deft — DFT015 — and it should carry that brand.

A sanding sealer looks like a redundant step and it is not. Deft describes this as a 100 percent nitrocellulose interior sealer intended as the first coat on a lacquer finishing project, drying in 30 minutes and ready to sand in an hour.

Why it exists is the sanding. A sanding sealer contains a soft, high-solids material that sands to a fine powder rather than gumming up and clogging the paper. Bare lacquer does not — it is soft and thermoplastic, and sanding it loads the abrasive within a few strokes. So the sealer is the coat that gets levelled, and the finish coats go over a surface that is already flat. Sanding the finish instead is how people end up cutting through to bare wood.

Deft notes a second function: one thin coat blocks most stains from weeping up through the final finish. It also states the sealer is non-yellowing and will not skin over in the can.

Coverage is stated at 400 to 500 sq ft per gallon depending on porosity.

Interior wood only. Flash point is around 53°F — this is extremely flammable. Ventilate.
