OK, Im no pro, just a hobby builder an have very little tools, all my TOP COATS are POLICRYLI -->simple dip, and hang ,application, 3-4 coats (stuff drys in under 2-3 hrs) an re-dip till I get the amount of coats I want. usualy 4 coats. I wish I could get a GREAT FINNISH like you pros do,but MONEY restriction keep me using POLI, an I happy.
I don't sell plugs an just trade an fish 'em. I likem 'em BETTER after they have been used, they have a little CHARACTER to them. I will have plugs at plug fest if you wish to see the finnish.
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN

P.S. Hay CHUMBUCKET you Comming to Plug Fest, I got a FLY for 'ya !

Does it seal maple?

I just grabbed some of Scott's 2oz. dahtah kits and will build them asap.

Can I use Seal Krete to seal the maple before painting? If so, any suggestions on dunk time?

Can it be tinted to apply a colored topcoat directly to sealed wood?
The ratio for mixing paint with Seal-Krete Original Waterproofing Sealer varies, depending on the desired aesthetics. SKO can be tinted anywhere from a transparent stain to a solid hide. For transparent stains, mix paint to sealer 1:4, respectively. For a solid color, mix paint to sealer 1:1.

Thanks,
Woody

I don't think so. It more like a latex than a penetrating sealer. It is also water based and will raise the grain. I tried a similar formulation water based acrylic sealer that didn't work well.
