Skate-Seal
Do It the Right Way and Protect Your Ramp with SkateSeal
SkateSeal is a premium water-based protective coating developed specifically for timber skate ramps. It is made for skateboarding! That means it gives your ramp the right balance of speed, grip and slip, so it still feels good under wheel.
A good ramp deserves proper protection. SkateSeal helps protect timber ramps from rain, frost, heat, staining, harsh sun and everyday skateboard traffic. It dries to form a tough, flexible, water-resistant layer that bonds with the timber instead of just sitting on top.
Unlike standard paints and hardware store sealers, SkateSeal is designed to handle real ramp use. Cheap coatings can make a ramp slippery, sticky or rough to ride. SkateSeal keeps the surface fast, smooth and skateable while helping extend the life of your ramp.

Built for Skate Ramps, Backed by Skaters
WA Skate Ramps developed SkateSeal because normal paint and sealers just do not cut it on timber ramps. If you want your ramp to ride better, last longer and stay protected from the Aussie weather, coat it the right way with SkateSeal.
SkateSeal FAQs
What is SkateSeal?
SkateSeal is a premium water-based coating made especially for timber skate ramps. It dries to form a tough, flexible and water-resistant film that helps protect your ramp from rain, frost, hot summer sun and heavy skate traffic, while still giving riders excellent feel under wheel.
Why should I use SkateSeal instead of normal paint or timber sealer?
Normal paints and hardware store sealers are not made for skateboarding. They can make your ramp slippery, sticky or un-skateable. SkateSeal was developed for skateboard ramps, with the right balance of slip, grip, speed and protection.
What materials can SkateSeal be applied to?
SkateSeal can be applied to natural timber and plywood surfaces. Make sure the surface is clean, dry and free from oil, grease, dust and loose paint before applying. If the ramp has been painted before, lightly sand it and remove any peeling or unsound coating first.
How do I apply SkateSeal?
SkateSeal can be applied by brush, roller or spray gun. For most ramp owners, applying it with a roller is the easiest way to get even coverage and a clean finish. Stir well before use and avoid painting in very hot conditions or onto hot surfaces.
How many coats of SkateSeal do I need?
A minimum of 2 coats is required, but 3 coats is recommended for the best protection and finish. Let each coat dry properly before applying the next one.
How much area does SkateSeal cover?
SkateSeal covers approximately 12m² per litre per coat. For example, 1 litre covers around 12m² for one coat, 4 litres covers around 48m² for one coat, and 10 litres covers around 120m² for one coat. Remember to multiply your ramp area by the number of coats you plan to apply.
How do I work out how much SkateSeal I need?
Measure the total ramp surface area in square metres, then multiply it by the number of coats. Divide that number by 12 to estimate how many litres you need. For example, a 24m² ramp with 3 coats needs 72m² of total coverage. 72 divided by 12 equals 6 litres of SkateSeal.
How long does SkateSeal take to dry?
SkateSeal is touch dry in about 30 minutes and can usually be recoated in 2 to 3 hours. Full cure is achieved in 7 days. Do not apply SkateSeal if rain is forecast, and keep your ramp protected from rain during the full 7 day cure period.
Will SkateSeal make my ramp slippery?
No. SkateSeal is made for skateboarding. It gives your ramp a fast, tough riding surface with the right amount of grip and slip, so the ramp still feels good under wheel.
How long does SkateSeal last?
SkateSeal can last up to 3 years before needing to be reapplied, depending on the weather, ramp location, use, care and whether the ramp is covered with a tarp. For best protection, WA Skate Ramps recommends reapplying SkateSeal yearly.
How do I reapply SkateSeal?
Reapplying SkateSeal is simple. Sweep the ramp clean, lightly sand any rough spots if needed, wash away dust and debris, let the ramp dry, then apply a fresh coat of SkateSeal. You do not need to completely sand off the original coat.
What sizes does SkateSeal come in?
SkateSeal is available in 4 litre and 10 litre sizes. Choose the size based on your ramp surface area and the number of coats you want to apply.
How quickly is SkateSeal shipped?
Once your order is placed, SkateSeal is usually shipped within 1 to 3 days.
