After reading your article on melamine finishing Phil, I took the plunge and purchased all of the items you mentioned. Following your instructions step by step I found at the end, the result was as stated, a smooth satin finish that looked like natural wood. Now, two questions please, can you apply the melamine lacquer over water slide decals and stamps, and if so, do you attach the stamps/ decals before or after sanding sealer? Thank you once again Phil for your instruction sheets.
