I just stumbled across your video and to say thank you for teaching me something new. I am a wood turner and been thinking about using a sanding sealer but don’t know much about them. This put it into some perspective for me.

2LB has always been my choice, both as a sealer and for French Polishing.

[@richardmilliken9377]

I almost always use 2lb cut, although I rarely use stain anymore. I’ll occasionally mix up 1/2lb or even a little less to use as a “flash coat” for finish repairs but the 2lb seems to suit

You can use ordinary lacquer, such as Watco brand, as a sanding sealer too. And if you mix it half and half with lacquer thinner it makes an all-purpose solution widely used in Asia. You can use it as a primer or pre-stain conditioner, but also as a topcoat too., or just for touch-ups. You can apply it either by brush or cotton rag or spray gun. And you can apply as many coats as you like, allowing dry time in-between and lightly sanding as desired. Watch the "Royal Wood Polish Work" guy in Asia for more info, although he does NOT speak English. CAUTION: Use lacquer and lacquer thinner only in a well-ventilated area or wear a respirator!

Thanks for this I have been thinking about giving shellac a try. The cost has put me off. Where do you get yours?

Would Turpentine as a solvent work?

[@paulwary]

Denatured alcohol and methylated spirits are the same thing, afaik. The denaturant, or poison that they add used to be methanol, that’s why they call it ‘methylated’. But a lot of alcoholics went blind or died from it. These days, I believe it’s pyridine. Maybe there are different denaturants that small better.
