I appreciated the responses and made note of each one for future reference. My initial question, which I forgot to explain, is a simple way to seal wood yards that will be used on the 1\100 plastic HMS Victory. I was hoping to find a simple sealer that could be brushed or sprayed on and then, after it dried, could be painted over. I did the masts and yards on the Bonhomme Richard with Testor's Dullcote and even though they came out pretty good, I was hoping to get a bit smoother finish. If the only good way is the sandpaper and finish material, I'll do, but I am hoping that there are some other suggestions.
Also, I have a big can of polyeurathane (sp?) that I seem to have no use for. Can this be used along with the sandpaper and paint over it?
Thanks for being there when needed.
