I have used Liberon Spirit Sanding Sealer for a while now and find it does a good job. Depends how you work really I am impatient and can get this one worked in minuets after applying.
Although it does say to wait 30 mins minimum for some reason. Used to use cellulose a good while ago but always got the lid stuck on the container :rolling:

I use cellulose sander sealer and acrylic sander sealer the latter does need a little more work. So it depends on what I am doing

I always use Liberon Spirit Sanding Sealer if used on furniture it takes 30min to cure but on a lathe you can speed the drying process up but it all depends what finish you want to use like cellulose cant be used over spirit or acrylic S/S

Always used Cellulose with good results until recently, now trying the chestnut acrylic. The jury is out currently.:thinks:

Never tried the spirit sealer, but may do that from now.. But could always go back to what I am used to eh!:rolling:
