Jim, All,

Any qualms with using a cheapo spray paint to coat the filler as opposed to
varnish/polyurethane? I'm interested in hearing in detail how you (Phil,
and anyone else it may concern) apply the varnish here.


Nope.. As Phil pointed out, aluminum tape doesn't stick to things like wood and plaster very well.

If you use something that can be real smooth (glossy smooth), then you can actually coat it with something like aluminum foil and spray glue. (making sure your glue and paint are compatible.. you don't want the glue solvent dissolving the finish.. it makes a big mess)

if you're using that relatively thick aluminum tape, then anything will work. Latex wall paint applied with a brush will work.

it's all about the surface prep...
