yes you want the clear lacquer, i used hy-cote crystal clear. leaves a high gloss shine, apply in very thin coats tho as it runs easily. i used a hair dryer on low power to help dry it |

Hiya. Well, if you are happy with the results then that is all that matters. So glad you had a go at it, lots think it a bit daunting, Not that hard if the right preparation and time are taken. Glad you were happy with the bending of the tape method..lol. Always works for me. Poppy
