Sanding Sealer

[Garno]

I learnt something today,
I say learnt but I have actually gathered some info I did not have yesterday and the waters have become muddied as a result.

I learnt that there is actually more than 1 type of sanding sealer :iknow:

In addition to the shellac Sanding Sealer their is a cellulose one ......

What type should I be using if I am going to use CA as a finish and come to think of it what one for a melamine finish?

Acrylic sanding sealer is water based so it will raise the grain. Cellulose sanding sealer might need to be thinned a little with cellulose thinners. This one dries fast. Spirit based sanding sealer is shellac based and dries a lot slower than the cellulose sealer.

Predominantly Cellulose sealer. but have acrylic sanding sealer for use when using wax as a finish.

I always use cellulose sanding sealer.

If you're doing a CA finish why not use thin CA as your sealer? A couple coats then sand lightly makes an excellent base coat.

Cellulose sanding sealer mixed 3 parts with 1 part cellulose thinners.
