I agree. I would think that the same enamel that you use to seal the primer would be sufficient to seal the case neck. Especially when the round is crimped to the bullet and already has a pretty tight seal.

The interesting part of the guy's post for me was in regard to moist air being transferred into the case overtime when heating up and cooling. Something I had not thought of. But still, unless you are going deep sea diving with your ammo, I guess sealing it is realistically not necessary.

I do my best to avoid swimming with my firearms these days. If i ever do decide that I need to seal some for extreme conditions, like hunting from a spike camp in the rain for a week, or if I move to New Orleans during hurricanne season, (which aint gonna happen) I'll just use nail polish. Otherwise, I'm not bothering with it for general storage purposes.

We used shellac years ago because it dries almost instantly.

Now there are fast drying lacquers like the following:
