>On the very rare occasion I have used it on a bowl, I would sand through 220, then apply it, let dry and start with 220 again through what ever grit you want to go up to. I have seen it applied after 220 grit and then re-sanded starting with 150 grit on up. It's one of those things you need to experiment with. If you have a good cut and sand properly, an oil finish applied before final finish of your choice works well. Best of luck, Sean

>I use a cut down lacquer finish in a similar manner.

Any product put down before a final finish could be considered a sanding sealer. I use lacquer cut 50/50 with lacquer thinner. This penetrates faster and dries fairly quick. I put alot on a rag (with golves on) and quickly wipe down the bowl. I usually apply after 320 or 400 grit. I allow it to dry for about a day, then either continue a finer sanding regime, or more finish, followed by wax or beaal buffing of white diamond and carnuba.
