I've watched a few tutorials and the narrator has referred to "sealing a model" a few times. I'm not sure what this means or what it entails. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Using varnish to seal the model.

Generally a model will get a matt varnish coat to protect it. You can also use gloss and matt varnishes at various points in the painting process in various techniques such as during weathering and when going from acrylic to oil paints (as the solvents for oil paints will destroy acrylic paints if they are not protected).

Ah, thanks very much!

So, would this be the varnish I could use? http://www.thewarstore.com/product56328.html

Yes, or you could buy a 400ml spraycan of varnsih from a manufacturer like Krylon.
