New SeoIer Protects
Wood Grain, Texture
BY D. N. DERwIN

Wood is highly porous
material. made up Of tiny
cells into which moisture
penetrates.
These cells expand and
contract under changes in
temperature and humidity,
causing warpins, grain rise,
and networks OF tiny surface
cracks called checking. Some
woods also contain acids
called tannins which, as wood
ages, bleed to the surface and
turn black under the action
Of sunlight.
These natural phenomena
can create real problems for
the flnisher.
Now being marketed is a
special line Of penetrating
