Pianolac has two sealers. The first is a barrier coat to surpress grain raising. The second is a standard sealer. The topcoat is_absolutely_ clear. No blueish tint, no hazing. I wouldn't be refinishing is it weren't for this stuff. (Come to think of it, what's so great about refinishing?) :-) If you are interested in more info contact the refinisher/developer of this material : Arthur Grudko, Pawling.
