Seal, protect and enhance in one easy step.

Jax Q8 is a high-quality water-based sealer available in Gloss, Silk and Matt. It can be applied over raw wood, over Jax Oleum Single Coat Wood Stain, or over any other compatible prepared interior wood surface. Its formula penetrates the timber, sealing porous wood while preserving the natural grain and colour beneath.

Enhanced protection where it counts

Q8 adds a layer of water resistance and durability to oiled interior surfaces, protecting against moisture, light wear and everyday exposure. The result is a clear, smooth finish that strengthens and extends the life of your Jax Oleum stain.

Which sealer do you need?

For everyday interior surfaces with moderate use – furniture, cabinetry, interior floors and wall cladding – Q8 is the right choice. Fast drying, low odour, and straightforward to apply. For high-traffic or high-moisture surfaces such as bar counters, restaurant table tops, commercial flooring, or kitchen surfaces and bathroom vanities, the Jax 2K Matt Sealer offers a stronger, more durable finish.

Easy to apply

Fast drying and low odour, Q8 is straightforward to apply and can be overcoated or left as a final finish depending on your desired look.

Suitable for interior use on:

  • Oiled wooden flooring
  • Furniture and cabinetry
  • Interior timber surfaces finished with Jax Oleum single coat oil based Wood Stain

Eco-friendly by design

Low VOC and proudly manufactured in South Africa using natural, eco-friendly materials.
