I typically only use a couple coats to seal the wood, letting some of the wood grain show through the paint. When I want a smoother finish, I use wood filler, but being soft, dings very easily. |
I've used the PIne-Pro sealer with good results - put on a couple nice coats, then WET sand it ( being water based the 'sanding dust' will help smooth-in the surface while sanding ( if that makes sense, lol ) .
I get real nice smooth finishes with Pine-Pro , just needs a few more coats ( 4-5 total sanding betewwn each 2 ).
Also works well on repairs, as it can be used OVER painted surfaces ( does react / sand some paint off depending on brand, but have never had a chemical reaction.
I have had problems sometimes of the sealer that gets over the Wood glue fillets ( I use Titebond 2 ) sometimes will crack when painted, generally corrected by sanding, but I;ve gone to sealing, then before priming I wipe a real thin glue fillet over the sealer, then sand lightly, and prime, if any cracking occurs, sand before top coating .
