Ditch the Deft.
Buy REAL Butyrate Sanding Sealer from Sig or make your own with Brodak or Sig Clear with shaved Styrene plastic dissolved in it. Just make sure to get Butyrate Clear, NOT Nitrate.

Brodak no longer makes Balsa Sealer, they are selling a new product which is basically silver dope. Sig, well they are moving or going out of business so they no longer have balsa sealer. Back to the days of making our own balsa sealer. Most old school model builders would add talc powder to Dope.

Thanks John! Since the cold weather persists, I am switching for awhile to woodworking, mostly for some much needed organization to my massive piles of all kinds of hardwoods. Another hobby of mine where collecting really outweighs builds.
