: Lexel caulking works extremely well. I am going to start using it on all my
: seams. I think you could coat it in ZAR too. I am going to try it.

I avoid using sealants, as it's just as easy to put some of the varnish that you're using on the skin into a squeeze bottle and apply a drop to each hole after you've coated the skin once or twice. It's sometimes necessary to repeat this on stubborn holes.
