    Default Coin inlay

    Not sure if this is the correct forum.

    I am making a "Lazy Susan" and will be using an Australian Florin as a decorative inlay.

    To protect the coin from tarnishing, can anyone suggest a finish or coating to apply to the coin.

    JW...I agree with burnabybear, a two part resin would fit the bill. I use Inlace resin (InLace) for my inlaid canes. The resin is clear, non-yellowing, rock hard, and best of all it isolates the inlay from environmentally tarnishing effects.
