i use the Gloss....i was using water white sanding sealer for many years good stuff just don't like the lacquer smell.

many of the maryland cue makers were using this stuff for a long time many probably still do.......i like the gloss water based polycrylic i cut it 75/25 apply with paper towel then burnish with dry towel then sand w/ 600 out to 2000 then i apply nanowax then sand out to 4000 then i apply renaissance over nano then burnish the shaft looks and feels like glass for a long time.

i've talked with a couple makers who use the polycrylic to seal there cues out then they apply there uv finish over poly.:wink:
personally for butts i don't want to use a sealer that lays on top i want the sealer to penetrate deeply as possible into the wood fibers = better finished product that holds up.

Has anyone tried endure sanding sealer?
If anyone has what is your opinion on the final result.

I have used the Enduro for years. General Finishes bought it out a few years back and recently changed the formula a bit. It seems to ball up on the sandpaper more now so I have changed my sanding routine to suit. It can be used under most any finish including the 3 part Automotive PPG acrylic resin that is solvent based that I use.

Even though is it water based it still has solvents in it. Enduro used to also make a clear filler that worked quite well but GF's has discontinued the product. At one point Enduro was the top rated water based sanding sealer on the market, it was not long after that that GF's bought them out. I don't know where the product stands now.

Overall I have been very satisfied with the results.

Amen to that thought, deep penetration is better.

You taught me that Leon.

I also use the Polycrylic,have for over 10 years now.

I prefer the satin,but the gloss works too.

My personal preference is thinning it with HOT water,almost but not quite 50/50.

I add something extra to mine,and start out by going over the dried sealer with 1000,then 1500.

I apply white polishing compound (bar not liquid).

The compound is buffed out using the same rag I use to apply my wax,so the wax and compound mix,esp once it gets good and warm.

After 2 coats of wax applied while warm,I hit it with a Tri-zact 3500 grit sponge,and more wax.

Whenever I'm not in a time crunch,the last coat of wax sits there until it sets up,and finish up there with a clean spot on the rag. Tommy D.
