If it doesn't work, then shellac has been recommended as a sealer that is compatible with everything, but it's just that bit messier as you have to warm up the shellac beads with water, then brush or wipe it on (or a mixture of the two).
Thank you Simon. Much appreciated.
One more question this time regarding the pick guard - I want to replace the stock white pickguard with a black one - I ordered a 3 ply blank - what is the best way to cut it into shape? (Jigsaw,hacksaw)?

Thanks
