Wet Sanding Seal-A-Cell

[Steven Hans]

Hi all,
Is it possible to wet sand the General's Finish Seal-A-Cell to create a slurry with the dust? I want to fill in some very slight gaps in dovetail joinery. I know you can do this with danish oil and that it dries hard and the joint looks tight. I am going to follow the Seal-A-Cell with the wipe on finish from General's.

Thanks!

I think it is best to fix gaps BEFORE any finishing products are added...not WITH finishing products.

Try dyed epoxy or my personal favorite: CA glue (crazy glue) and sanding while it is wet or you can add sawdust, too, and press it with a putty knife. Wait a few minutes to dry, and sand again. Repeat if necessary....

I don't buy the slurry filling gaps/pores thing...you end up wiping most of it away anyway because it isn't stuck down well....

You can fill grain and tiny gaps with any finish. Pore filler is, after all, part varnish.

You can add a small amount of mineral spirits to increase the open time so you can work up a good slurry.
