For a long time, I made my own sanding sealer by mixing baby powder into clear dope. You can tailor the mix; more powder, more filling and easier sanding - less powder, harder surface. I gave up sealing with dope because of the smell (I do a lot of work inside the house in the winter). I started mixing up water-based clear polyurethane instead. The added benefit is water clean up.
Do you use a specific brand of polyurethane that you can recommend, like Minwax Polycrilic or Varathane?
Are the fumes/smell any less?
