I have been doing linen wraps and I am getting low on the sealer for them. I 1st use starch and press the wrap. Then I hit with high grit sandpaper just a touch. Then apply a sealer. The bottle doesn't have a name on it and it doesn't look like the sealer came in that bottle either. I am about to run out of it. I was going to see what kind of recommendations I could get from the expects here on what to use to seal the wrap. THANKS

I know this may sound dumb, but didn't you buy the sealer in the first place? How can you not know what it was or where you bought it?

I can say that I did see this question coming..... No, I did not buy the sealer. I am an apprentice to Alex Brick (also son-in-law). He passed away not long ago and I took over with his work. I never had a chance to ask him what sealer he was using.

My condolences, I wasn't aware of Alex's passing.
The sealer I use is Lacover 30 padding. It leaves the linen a bit slippery smooth as it has a wax in it I believe, which is the way I like a linen wrap to feel. The 30 is the lighter weight of the 2 types offered. It can be used as a shaft sealer also.
