Jeff, I been using as you know both sealers. I like the poly/ min.spirits, and the Val /min.spirits. 60/40 cut for both. I used the val for cedars and pine and poly for birch and maple. Both dry quick 2days the most pending temp amd so far hold the gold label Zinseer primer (oil base). I do a 2 coat dip. scotchbrite between coats. I would spray the primer but w.o a spraay booth to rid the cellar of fumes I find dipping easy. Made a cardboard box w. coathanger rods going across the width of the box and the drips go into a roller tray on bottom.I cut a opening in the lower half of one end to facilitate the installation and removal of the tray. After an hour or so I pour the drippings back into the primer can. The 2 coat covered the pine grain completely. lightly sand , clean(wash) w/denatured alcohol and make the plug "PERTY"!
