Clear wood sanding sealer

[Claymore]

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a wood sealer that doesn't colour the wood, Its for some Sycamore and I need it to not change the colour of the wood...... tried my usual Bodgers sealer and it had a slight tint to it so need something that doesn't.
Also can you get clear knotting solution again that doesn't colour the woood?

Cheers
Brian

de-waxed shellac would be a good choice.

I haven't hear of that before, any more information of what to buy?

I can't say I've noticed any colour in it.

They dilute it 50/50 with cellulose thinners, so it works out a lot cheaper.
Strangely enough, the only reason I knew what brand we use is because I took some empty gallon cans home because I had a couple of very rusty steel ones to decant into them.

Do you mean they dilute that 2.5L with another 2.5L of thinners? How does that affect performance on things like MDF?

It soaks in and drys more quickly and doesn't dry sitting on the surface until you've a few coats on.
