How to Choose the Right Mohawk Wood Finish

The right finishing product depends on where you are in the project. A sanding sealer helps prepare the surface for the finish, while a clear gloss lacquer provides the protective final appearance.

For surface preparation

Mohawk Finisher’s Choice Sanding Sealer M102-0543 is intended for the preparation stage before the clear topcoat. It is a practical choice when you want a smoother, more consistent base.

For the clear topcoat

Mohawk Ultra-Flo Clear Gloss Lacquer M102-0450 is a clear gloss aerosol lacquer for spot repairs and wood-finishing topcoats.

Choose a kit when you need both steps

• Prep & Clear Wood Finishing Kit: one sanding sealer and one clear gloss lacquer.
• Professional Prep & Clear 3-Pack: one sanding sealer and two clear gloss cans for projects that need more finish.

Before you start

Always read the product label and Safety Data Sheet. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for surface preparation, application, drying, ventilation, personal protective equipment, storage, and disposal.
