Hello listers,
I am using Cargille immersion oil for mounting some test targets. I am looking for  a good sealant that does not react with cargille immersion oils. Nail polish  tends to mix with oils as it dries slowly. I am trying to avoid VALAP because it spreads on the coverslip if scratched accidentally. Is there something that will dry fast and not mix too much with the immersion oils?

Thanks for suggestions
