G'day all
Just thought I'd post some pics of a job I delivered yesterday.
Not my design, but built sorta as designed. A few variations on the order of panel assembly, so the front doesn't show edges of boards etc.
Made from 17.5mm marine ply.
17 pieces per enclosure. 27kg each when finished.
I need advice on which clear coat I should use, spray on...
Ideas?

Nice job. They look powerful enough to make that timber floor hum.

I'm a fan of Mirotone's Mirocat products myself. Easy to apply, fast drying which enables multiple coats per day and I've found it to be an attractive, hard wearing finish.

Great looking boxes +1 for Mirotone I have been using it for over 30 years and have had great results consistently with a large variety of their finishes.
Regards Rod.

Thanks for the positive comments.
And I'll try out some Mirotone [emoji1303]

Which Mirotone product would you recommend for this type of project.
Satin finish.

Hi graham,
What have you sealed them with already.

I used Carbatec single pac poly clear.
Hopeless product to spray with on vertical surfaces.
Had to brush finish on, one horizontal surface at a time.
Too long, and not as even as a spray finish.
