sealers

Wood prep coatings

Sealers are people who hunt seals commercially, or the ships they use for such expeditions.

The industry was once major in northern waters: The sealers set out from Newfoundland each spring.

Sealer also means any substance or device that creates a seal—a coating that prevents penetration or leakage: Apply a wood sealer before painting.
