Hi All,
Can I ask if anyone can recommend a way to finish Intarsia/Segmentation.
I have completed the gluing up and staining of my latest project and now wish to varnish it.
I think I would favour spraying from a can over hand painting with a brush.
Can anyone recommend how to apply a finish and which finish ?
Is there any difference between using varnish and using lacquer.
Is it ok to use Halfords spray gloss finish ?
Please help, I want to get this right first time as I won't have a second chance.

Thanks Derek,
I have the Acrylic Sanding Sealer he mentions in the video and found it very good over some plates that I had painted with Acrylic paint

PS Thanks for the PM. I will study that when I have had a look at my Inboxes.
