These are shop cabinet drawers.

They are made from 18mm ply with hard wood onion skin.

I've already applied two coats of sanding filler.

Feast Watson 250ml Sanding Sealer
I/N: 1564778

Once I sand all the sanding filler off,
what top coat should I use?

Feast Watson Sanding Sealer doesn't say whether its oil or water based.

Just reading thru some of the descriptions I was thinking about glass polish.

Any suggestions for the top coat for the 18mm ply with hard wood onion skin?

thanks in advance.

Just got off the phone with Feast Watson helpline.

The sanding sealer is oil based.
(didn't say on the can)

For the shop and best durability he suggested
glass finish - high build - one coat
or
floor clear - 2 to 3 coats

these have strong solvent odor

use adolox sandpaper for the sanding sealer its grey aliminim

Never mind.
The lady have nixed the idea.

It says on the can that if spraying thin with mineral turpentine - contents states it contains liquid hydrocarbons. That's generally a good indication.

I would have said "proof positive"

Thanks heaps gents.

so "liquid hydrocarbons" = oil based ?

or solvent based -- you need to check the information on thinning and for cleaning up.

Oil/ solvent bassed realy does not give much information.

You realy want to know the resin family ...... most modern "varnishes" and their sanding sealers are pollyeurathane ...... older generatioons of varnishes where Alkalide ..... similar to traditional enamel paints ....... the two resin familises don't play well together.

The you get into Acrillic and nitry bassed solvent laquers.

you realy need to know your resin family not just the solvent or carrier.
