Can I glue onto Mohawk vinyl sealer?

I thought I read a post this week that said this was ok. I'm going to seal my guitar With Mohawk vinyl sealer before installing bindings to help with chip out of the channels and help prevent loss of spuce fibers from pulling up the binding tape.
I want to glue my bridge on before finishing. Can I glue my bridge on with LMI white glue directly onto the sealer. Oh crap who am I kidding I know I'll just end up sanding it all off anyway but could I if I wanted to?

you don''t want to glue on the bridge until you are done. Setting a bridge is better for intonation that way

Usually the finish is removed before gluing the bridge so you have a wood-to-wood joint with a good wood glue.

Yes I won't set the bridge location until the neck is set. Will the sealer be easy to sand off or is this a bad idea? I am worried about pulling fibers off with the binding tape.

I have sprayed a couple of caoats of sealer on the top. Then I always spray an extra layer around the the outside edge of the top just to be sure I will not grab anything when I remove the tape.
Probably overkill but I have not had any issues since I started doing it that way.
