If CC is a deep penetrating finish specially formulated for hard to finish exotic hard woods, why six coats of sanding sealer? The first coat of General product should raise the grain and light sanding all that is needed. Better yet wet the blank, raise the grain, let dry lightly sand, and start dipping.
My personal experience using sealers depending upon sealer used too many coats can cause bubbles, orange peel, or soften top coat of film finishes. Another problem is compatibility between sealer and top coat.
A one pound cut of un-waxed shellac still one of the best sealers you can use whether using solvent or water base film finish top coat.
When to Use Sanding Sealer / Rockler How-to
Many experienced finishers just do not use sealers they rather thin whatever finish using for first coat(s). Have to be careful thinning with WB finishes.
Sealers only have one purpose in life and that is let you get a faster build of finish on a piece of wood. If want to fill pores use a filler. JMHO, if finish is self leveling and you let dry between coats might find do not need any filler. Getting that finish level will require sanding between coats.
Problem with some water base finishes they tend to look pale on light woods and make dark woods look washed out. You can add a little dye to the finish to stop that. Some makers add something to their WB finishes to impart an amber hue. To many coats of some of some WB finishes will see bubbles and orange peel. Just sand back until gone and apply another coat.
