Good Sealers for Hardwood Table tops like Marri to preserve natural look

Attachment 359631Attachment 359632The one on the left, Acrylic preserves the natural look of the timber whilst the marri on the right has been yellowed. I prefer the natural look personally.

Apparently they achieve this using the below products (either one) Ilva or Beckers

Acrylic coatings - Ilva

or

Polyurethane Paints & Clears

The acrylics are apparently very watery and much harder to apply thereby requiring more skilled applicators.

What about this product http://www.feastwatson.com.au/consum...t-details/1524 which Iam not sure is 2pac. Any opinions on my assumptions, the brand names etc is appreciated. Thanks

I had one response from the Cabots Contact Us line

For you to retain the natural look a water based clear finish would be best. We do have a good commercial water based clear called Envirpro Endure 1 pack. This is a good durable coating and will heighlight the natural look of the timber. You will need to s eal the timber first with Envripro Timberseal followed by three coats of the Endure 1 pack. These products are only available through commercial woodcare distributors

Great tips. I also like natural looking wooden furniture. I notice that over the years, they maintain their looks better as compared to wooden furniture that have been colour stained.
