I'm getting ready to cast a mold using a wooden master, and I need to seal it with a good sealer for moisture protection etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what sealer to use?

Why not use a decent polyurethane varnish? Those work pretty good too Murph. Proboably a lot cheaper too. I know Minwax does a Poly Spar varnish that should suit your needs. Just remmeber Varnish doesn't dry it cures and it will take a few days to do that. Also make sure your master is clean and dust free (tack cloth the piece well first to remove any sanding dust left). Other than that you're good to go.
