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.

Oh yeah I didn't think about how heave epoxy was.

I use the Brodak and love it!

I was thinking of adding it as a last step before painting so wouldn't be sanding it which means it will also require a Lacquer paint more than likely...It's probably more trouble than its worth and expensive. I've always been the type to do things that other people don't though usually just to be different or adventurous.
