Hi Eric. this is the answer I was looking for ..in the pass I have ask a similar question on how to prepare the wood before carving.. I just couldn't put it together. so this is a good advise in what to used water base sanding sealer .thanks again .. a great advise to follow.
We have tons of the beetle kill pine here in Colorado. Most of the pine trees in Grand County were killed by beetles. I love the stuff and have made coffee tables with it. Rustic signs are next!
once our Menards opens here, i Will send you some more if you like! they always separate the blue pine from the select boards. its real cheap here. like $3.00 for a 1"x6"x8'
I couldn't find sanding sealer at my local hard ware store so I was told to try poly urethane looks the same the water base works the best. It turns yellow ish but your sanding it off anyway and found it doesn't gum up the belts. I didn't like using the Krilon ether. I've switch back Helmsman Spar Urethane anyways I like it better and a can goes farther. Thanks again maybe a video on all the stuff you've used and what you use now.
Hi Eric, Great video was just wondering if this water based sanding sealer is ok for a pine board ( commonly used for shelving) sign that'll be used outside here in the not so sunny and very rainy U.K. thank you
About a year ago I purchased a quart of Minwax Sanding Sealer. I didn't open it until yesterday because I had some older Sanding Sealer to finish (5 year old Cabot). I applied the Minwax Sanding Sealer on new Maple Stairs as per directions on the can. I noticed that as the Sanding Sealer was drying it started to darken slightly and create a blotchy finish at the overlapping brush strokes. Hopefully this can be cleaned up with some minor sanding. Today I tried to sand the imperfections but the Sanding Sealer was rubbery and could not be sanded. The sanding caused the finish to roll under the sandpaper while clogging it at the same time. It's going to take me 2 days of stripping to clean the wood and get ready for proper finishing. I will never take another chance with this product again.👎
Dave Rhoten ok cool... also I just got my shipment in, thank you so much for the "U" engraved gift! I must say you and the team are a class act! Thank you!!
I've been using the beetle kill for a couple of signs and I'm very happy with the results. More importantly there is a certain eye pop factor when the customer sees the finished sign. Thanks for the fantastic videos and keep up the good work.
Do you ever use sanding sealer and ceder stain on the same pine board? If you do, is the sequence apply sanding sealer first, carve second, apply ink 3rd, sand 4th, apply ceder stain 5th, apply finish last?
+Monte Hines I answered on FB as well but for those that aren't on there here's the sequence on the pine. 1) sanding sealer 2) Layout 3) carve 4) spray black 5) Sand off the black 6) Spray cedar stain 7) Clear Finish. Hope this helps. Thank you, Eric
I really appreciate your "thought of the day!"
Thank you

+TRod4297 Thanks Rod for the feedback. Good idea for a video. I like it....
Hi Eric,
Great video
was just wondering if this water based sanding sealer is ok for a pine board ( commonly used for shelving) sign that'll be used outside here in the not so sunny and very rainy U.K. thank you
Yep that should work fine as long as you put a good exterior finish over the top.
Could I use minwax polycrylic over this sanding sealer???
I really don't know. By the time I put the finish on the sign the sanding sealer is all gone so I don't worry about it.

Sorry for you issues.
Do you use sanding sealer on all your projects or just on certain types of wood, and is necessary to use on redwood, oak, maple etc. thanks.
I only use sanding sealer on pine. It's the only one of the woods that I use that has a tendency to bleed the black.
Dave Rhoten ok cool... also I just got my shipment in, thank you so much for the "U" engraved gift! I must say you and the team are a class act! Thank you!!
You mentioned " Dad's Memory " coming up on Saturday, good tag line.
