Just the normal household stuff it is just a stop gap and I have some part used cans laying around from decorating. I like to give it a heavy coat where possible

It is water based.
For the final seal I use thinned PVA I have found it seals nicely have been using it for ages and uses up all the older bottle I have had for a while. Like most drying you will get failures but on the whole I seem to get very few that split.
Starting tomorrow I will be rounding some off as I need to reduce the storage area that a piece takes up before doing this. I also will be stacking them in blank size(Diameter) and wood type. Each will be marked with weight and date.
