Yes, you have to make sure that the sanding sealer you buy is for use with lacquer finishes.

I used Deft lacquer sanding sealer on the cabinets I refinished last summer, with no problems. These received Mohawk toners over the sealer, followed by top coats of Deft clear lacquer. They still look as good now as when I refinished them.

Interesting side note about the hardness of Deft. I accidentally dropped my 53C while moving it from one shelf to another. It landed face down on the carpet, on top of a knob which fell off when the radio fell. I picked it up, expecting the worst...and it had no visible marks. And its final finish is semi-gloss. Whew!
