Maryjo,
In using quickwood, you are reduced to using heavier coats of paints than washes. However, depending where the quick wood is, one could uses wash on the part that don't have the quickwood.
I used quick wood on a hydrant for a fireman carving and though I used washes on the fireman, I used heavier coats on the hydrant. came out looking pretty good, well as good as this old man can paint.
As for sealers, I believe you will run in to the same problem.

Which technique did you wind up using? Guess it doesn't matter as you are happy with the results. That is the main thing.
