How To Waterproof Wood

Waterproofing wood is crucial for its longevity, especially for pieces that are exposed to moisture. Here’s how you can waterproof wood effectively.

Materials:

Sandpaper (120-grit)
Soft cloth
Wood sealant or waterproofing agent
Paintbrush
Steps:

Start by sanding the wood surface with 120-grit sandpaper to ensure it’s smooth and free from imperfections.
Wipe away any dust using a soft cloth.
Apply a thin, even coat of the wood sealant or waterproofing agent using a paintbrush.
Allow the first coat to dry based on the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Apply a second coat for added protection.
