You can get Sanding Sealer still from Brodak (just as good) or Sig (needs 1 part thinner to two parts sealer).
Epoxy is not generally used due to it being HEAVY.

Heavy and is difficult to sand down on a fin without screwing up the wood. Also, finishing resin adds no strength to the fin.
I use the Brodak and love it!
