Some years back, possibly four or five years, there was this guy who used clear water base or oil base polyurethane or urethane, to glass his models. He said he used resin for years, as I did but, changed over to clear floor stuff. Swears by it.
He said he got the idea while at a basketball game, looking at the lines and graphics covered with clear material on the gym floor.
This was an RCU reply and not a Thread, so I was unable to find it. Can't remember what he used but he did say he purchased the product at Home Depot.
Yea, i should have paid more attention to him, but I was busy at the time.
Anyone ever experiment with clear floor coatings like the polyurethane or urethane coatings to glass or cover your models?
That's the question.

Nope. I've tried water based urethanes. it's an interesting experience. No water based top coats as they tend to weigh a ton and aren't very fuel resistant. But hey, maybe you'll find something.

sounds like future wax...

He only used this clear floor coating to glass. He finished in auto paints, as I did.

Minwax Polycrylic is what is used for glassing. Put on a coat or two of Deft sanding sealer first. I've used it a number of times with great success.

Minwax also has a Sanding Sealer, and something they call a Brushing Lacquer.
