Pinewood Derby Wood Sealer (Primer)

Pinewood Derby Wood Sealer (Primer)

Pine wood is a porous, soft wood. The first layer of paint will soak right into the wood and also raise the grain, making for a rough finish.

Sanding Sealer will seal the wood, giving you a deep shine when your final layer of paint is applied. Use two coats of sealer for an even better base.

Winning Tips and Hints

Pinewood Derby
Tips & Hints

Make your car slim. If your car is too chunky, there will be lots of weight in the wood, leaving less weight for your weights. You want lots of weight so you can move the center of gravity to the optimal point to maximize inertia.

Pinewood Derby
Wheels Tip

If you have a bad wheel and you don't have time to replace it, raise that wheel so it doesn't touch the track. Since it doesn't touch the track, it won't have any negative affect on your car's speed.
