Getting hard to find the regular CWF, too. As opposed to the Max (and indeed I am).
I've never tried sealing a nose cone with Elmer's but I'll probably try it next time. I've tried thin CA and I won't do it again — some people swear by it but between the mess, the smell, and the difficulty handling it didn't work for me. I kept missing bits of the surface and not discovering it until I'd sanded a divot out of it. Only thing worse was when I tried thin CA on a balsa transition — that was a disaster, trying to keep the CA off both shoulders.

That never happens with Elmer's!
Keep Looking over the nose cone and just brush out any bump. If there's a missed spot just add another drop of Elmer's and brush it out.
If you get some on your fingers or the shoulder just wipe it off.
When satisfied just rinse the brush off under a hot water tap.
A light sanding is all it needs to finish
I get Elmer's at my dollar store, dime store or drug store.
Heck! I've seen Elmer's at most party stores.
Try it, you'll like it.
