A lot of you use sanding sealer for your projects. What brand do you use? Any special reason? What I started to use seems to muddy things up.

Bernie,
Are you using the SS under the oil? Unless I'm misunderstanding how they work, I would think the oil couldn't penetrate the wood if the SS goes on first...
I've been using the SS from the local Borg.. don't know the brand off top of my head, then adding the wipe on poly over that... works for me... but I'm always looking for a better way to finish my work... I've seen some finishes on here and at shows that blows the mind. Wouldn't mind getting my work to that level.
In over 40 years of woodworking I have never used a sanding sealer. I figure if needs more finish then it needs more finish so I guess you'd say my finish is my sanding sealer. Never had a complaint. My Dad never used it and his Dad never used it.IMHO Sanding sealer is not much more thana cheap quick drying finish that soaks in and tgets hard quick, allowing you to sand a slicvk surface and seal off the pores to provide a smoothe surface. Coulld be as ssimple as a Lacquer, Shellac, Oil based quick dryin finish. Secret is the penitrating quick drying characterisitc.
Sanding sealer is after coloring, but you can do a surface sealer pore filler, etc. after sanding sealer...
