Solids In Sealers
John,
This is an age old question that I was never sure how to answer
properly when it came to semi-transparent stains. They are not
a paint so should not be compared in the same way.
A few years ago I came across an article on wood sealers and it
contained the best answer I have seen. It said that the solid
content of a wood sealer is that part of the product that does
not evaporate.
Based on this Ready Seal has a solid content of around 87%
Hope this helps

Solid content is important but not the only importance. It's also important how the solids are carried and where they end up. Another brand I know of advertises high solid content. The problem is most of it lays on top of the wood which ends up wearing of in no time.
