I have never seen sanding sealer yellow but most clears will yellow some depending on how much it is exposed to UV light. How often do you play pool in direct sunlight..... it should take a very long time to notice the yellow.

These are not negative remarks towards any recomendations here,because I've never used the sealer, but the Deft lacquer is terrible or atleast was many years ago. I used it on one of my first cues and for a while it looked fine, but after sitting in case for several years it not only severely yellowed as lacquer can, it even seemed to melt inside the case and part of the lining stuck to it. Lesson learned there. I know some would not aggree but CA on the other hand I have had some luck with. There was a learning curve for me at first, but I still have 2 personal cues I used It on probably 12 to 15 years back that has held up well. I used a expoxy base for a sealer before applying CA cotes, and at the time I had not heard of using the oil, so it was not used, and Although I had used It before, I don't think I used store bought accelerator on these 2, but rather let it cure naturally inbetween. These cues were well cared for though. It is a really hard finish, and so can be prone to chip outs if they are treated poorly, but have found it less likely to dent the wood underneath as a finish with more elasticity, but I see that as a give and take. Ofcourse as you mention without the use of atleast a wood lathe application of it would be much more dificult. LOL I just realized how old this thread but Yes It's nasty stuff,but then some others are too. I do remember the burning eyes and respiratory issues.
