Andy that's the brand i have used you are right it is very good

Just ordered it from cornwall models, 'quick and efficent customer service' for the benifit of the tape or how ever is listening

Thanks everyone who helped me out.

ModelZone do (did ?) a sanding sealer that works well.

Never heard of Danish Oil. Does it come from the bacon :p

Thanks for info CMB. I was informed by a friend that it should be okay. Shows what he knows

If you go onto tool post web site ( www. toolpost.co.uk) you can get aerosol trade quality sanding sealant. I've used the liquid from cornwall but much prefer the aerosol - quick, will get into the nooks and crannies and quick drying. Costs £6.64 plus postage. Have a look at the site I get Acrylic satin lacquer from them too. Kay

if you cant get it in your home town try phoning some of the companys on the internet some do take postal orders, and to me it is just wood filler watered right down to a wattery past with white spirt

Thanks for all the friendly advice. I really appreciate it.

hi cmb..what you do with oils is thin it for your first coat maybe 25% spirit and 75% oil apply it with a brush leave for a minute or so then go over it with a clean lint free cloth so you take off the remaining oil that hasnt soaked in until dry, then you dont get any residue repeat a couple of times with neat oil and always rag it off..cheers paul
