spec_description:

Chemvinyl 550 is a single component vinyl modified nitrocellulose sealer that provides excellent sealing properties and very rapid dry.  Chemvinyl 550 was developed to improve adhesion and moisture resistance. Chemvinyl 550 is an easy sanding sealer designed for the professional applicator who requires a rapid dry, easy sanding material. The Chemvinyl 550 shows improved adhesion with various stain systems.

All nitrocellulose lacquers will yellow over time. This could become an issue if this product is used over white surfaces. This yellowing generally adds a warm patina when applied over most other colors and stains.

Recommended:  Architectural Woodwork Institute Nitrocellulose Lacquer System (8th Ed).
