I definitely like the idea of using a spray varnish and prefer satin too. I usually do choose water-based products but will see what's available in varnishes.Theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347500412731766502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5877236014410090985.post-72225420731917758882011-05-04T22:42:52.656+10:002011-05-04T22:42:52.656+10:00Terrific job Thea!

And if you do get marks on it they can be cleaned off. You just pick out your colour and tell the guys at the paint shop that you want it in an enamel. However, it is a little messier as it is oil based so remember to put your brush straight into a jar filled with Turpentine to stop it from getting ruined. But since you have already painted in an acrylic, you can buy a clear varnish from the paint shop or you can go to Spotlight and get a Krylon Clear Varnish spray. These come in both gloss and satin (satin isn't as shiny - and I quite like the look). Just give it a few sprays over and it'll come up beautifully. Whatever you choose, it is definitely a good idea to varnish it as it will protect your table, especially in your busy workshop!<br />Megs xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
