ortho85 Posted January 26, 2015 #1 Posted January 26, 2015 The instructions in my Amati kit say to use "spray filler" to seal the softwood deck planks. Any suggestions for something available in Australia? Is it different to Wipe-on-Poly in terms of finish? Or maybe Estapol? Thanks, Brett Abandoned current build - Model Shipways Bluenose - absolute garbage! Last build - A-L San Francisco II Third build - Amati Dorade Fastnet Yacht (1931) Second build - Model Shipways Armed Virginia Sloop First build - Artesania Latina Swift 1805
hornet Posted January 26, 2015 #2 Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Could they possibly have meant sanding sealer - such as Feast Watson - available at Bunnings. I have recently finished the deck planking of my latest build. I simply used a few coats (sanded in between each) of satin polyurethane (estapol) mixed 50/50 low odour turps and applied with an airbrush. Works for me!
