 to paint polyureathane on?
 
 Thanks for you help

Simon,
The MinWax polyurethane is excellent for coils. I brush it on while hand 
turning the coil 
on a lathe. There may be a tendency for tear drop drips, especially on the 
first coat. This can be avoided by brushing them away and/or by keeping the 
coil rotating with a small
motor. Just keep moping it on for 8-12 coats. Looks great. OK on acrylic but 
it will ruin the
appearance of the plastic.


Happy day,
Ralph Zekelman
