Can I do my epoxy pre fill (walnut, rosewood, hog) over target waterbase sanding sealer or should I fill the raw wood first. |

Raw wood pore fill with epoxy for me too. |

I was talking about the water based sealer he mentioned. Seems superfluous after epoxy… |

The two professional guitar finishers that I know both use epoxy to pore fill and then shoot finish. Seems to work fine for $35K guitars and others. |

That is how this "non-professional" finisher likes to do it also. I think sanding sealers and vinyl sealers affect the clarity and the adhesion of the top coat in a negative way. |

I've never tried the vinyl sealer with Mohawk Instrument laquer, just with Deft as I had good success without so still not sure if it would be beneficial or not. It didn't seem to make much of a difference with Deft. On the fence. |

Hi Darrel, Here is a page from the wood web discussing vinyl sealers that might help you decide what side of the fence to be on, although you really don't have to make a choice - there may be projects were you prefer to use it and some you don't. https://woodweb.com/knowledge_base/Is_V ... %20surface. For epoxy pore filled wood on musical instruments I don't use sealers, and for soundboards I self seal with top coat (and try to keep it thin). We picks our poison and takes our chances.
