final final finish

[brainstrust]

Hi all, just wondering if you generally do a final clear coat over your finishes to keep them in good shape?
If not what finishes last for a very long time other then the polywipes and so forth?

no one doing clear coats over their finishes:?

My bowls and pens are finished either with EEE and Shellawax Glow, or just sanded and then finished with several coats of clear acrylic ( I use White Knight Crystal Clear Acrylic in spray cans) either in Gloss or Satin. Most pens are finished in CA but this little duck can't get a good enough finish so he avoids it. The bowls and pens finished with clear acrylic last well; some were done over 5 years ago. The other benefit of the acrylic is that it is touch dry in 20 minutes and can be recoated after 1 hour. But that's in sunny Sydney, so Canberra might take a hell of a lot longer! :p
