I was in Home Despot today, getting keys made, when I thought I'd swing by the paint section and maybe pick up some of that Minwax stuff I've been hearing about.
Oh, the tragedy of today's indecisive consumer! There's Minwax Polycrylic, Minwax Polyurethane (quick dry!) in three different finishes (flat, satin and gloss), "Huntsman spar varnish" (apparently made by Minwax) as well as a bunch of different colored stuff.
I reeled out of there and got my keys, emitting only a faint moan at the selections of multi-colored keys that are possible these days.
So -- do I _really_ want the Minwax Polycrylic, which is water based, is what I think everyone recommends, and which will chance warping up my nice straight fuselage? Or do I want to get Minwax Polyurethane, which is oil-based, quick dry(!) and comes in smaller cans for the timid tryer out of new stuff?
Or should I just get a gallon of Sig Lite-Coat and sort through my 30 year old Silkspan collection?
