    Default sanding sealer

    I have been googling "sanding sealer" and a getting the impression that woodturners use sanding sealer on their projects. Some sites refer to sanding sealer being used on open pored timber. Would there be any point in using sanding sealer on a hardwood such as ironbark? The project is a large built in book case. A random orbital sander has been used and the timber feels very, very smooth.

    Hi Chris,

    have you removed the dust from the surface? If not, do so and then wipe the surface with a metho-dampened rag. Wait till it dries and then see if it is a silky smooth as it was. Most likely, it won't be. Give it another quick swip with the sandpaper, just to remove these remaining nibs. Rmove the dust and you are ready for finishing.

    Note this method above is fine for hard woods and by hard woods I mean ironbark, jarrah, etc.


    The sanding sealer also has a little bit of shellac in it, which helps to seal the timber, ready for finishing. There is further information about UBeaut's sanding sealer here.

    cheers

    Thanks Wendy. Did as you said. The timber feels like silk and we're ready to finish off.
