Is it ok to spray vinyl sealer over epoxy pore fill? I use a final wash coat of epoxy when finished with pores. Finish will be nitro. Mike |

I usually spray nitro directly on top of epoxy. Vinyl sealer doesn't adhere as well as nitro does to most things and has less clarity so I don't use it, but as long as the epoxy has cured (week?) it should be O.K. |

Hi Mike, I self seal the top with nitro. It is close grained and doesn't need any pore filling and I don't use epoxy on it (sometimes epoxy fill the rosette if it is porous material) |

While you do not need the sealer it won't hurt. I would use the recommended sealer for the finish from the same manufacturer. **edited** |

Its Mohawk (Behlen) sealer, for the Mohawk nitro. Think I'll just spray the top. Brian, did you mean "while u don't need" ? |

I have never used Mohawk nitro, I use the Cardinal LuthierLac stuff and their vinyl sealer. I always try to use finish and undercoat from the same manufacture as you have done. The only thing I can add is with Cardinal, it bonds much better if you spray the sealer (over cured epoxy or bare wood) and then follow up in 30-60 minutes with the first top coat. I suppose my point is it is best to follow the manufacturer recommendations. |

I’ve done it without any issues over Z Poxy & over West Systems 105/207 |
