As I am not a HPR, nor even MPR person, I have just dipped nose cones into the pint size can of sanding sealer I have. Typically two dunkings work, but if there are deep grains a third dunking isn't that hard.

A long, long time ago when I was just a lil rocketeer, I noticed how the Elmer's glue along the base of the fin would be a nice smooth surface and not suck up the paint. I always thought that there must be some deep, arcane reason why it was necessary to use the sanding sealer instead of just coating the fins with glue.
