One of my most productive years in years! I guess pandemics are good for staying home and sitting at the bench!

Wayne- thanks for your kind words. I use Minwax Polyurethane clear gloss. I shoot it through my airbrush. The advantage to this clear enamel is that it won't craze decals as many lacquers will and since it's enamel it can be applied over any paints. It is 'self-leveling' and lays down real smooth. I'm told it can take a buff and polish, but I never do that so I don't have any first-hand knowledge of that. The disadvantage is that it will never get as hard as lacquer will, so one has to be careful handling your parts once they're dry. I clamped parts together once cleared and the clamp left marks. Just be careful. A 1/2 pint can is about $6.00 at Lowes. I don't think Home Depot carries it. -RRR
