Osmo End Grain Sealing Wax protects the end grain of exterior and interior wood from cracks during all elements of weathering. It minimizes water absorption, as well as the seasoning of the end grains, leaving the surface water and dirt resistant. It also prevents swelling and shrinking as well as ‘bleeding’ of the contents of the wood. It is clear and is therefore universally applicable but is best suited for end grains only. For best results apply 2 coats using a flat brush or cloth. Apply generously to ensure greater protection. Minimizes water absorption, creates a water and dirt-resistant finish, prevents selling and shrinking, and stops the content of the wood 'bleeding'.
