I was thinking about water based Varathane as it is a very clear and non yellowing polymer which I have used on wood (cabinets and furniture.) I even have some kicking around in a quart can but it's not worth the clean up after using the spray gun unless I'm going to do a lot of spraying. I have no idea how it would react to the prints... or should I say how the prints would react to it. I was also going to try some Krylon products but I think you are probably right in that the products designed for print spraying are a better bet, even though, probably more expensive. All of this will of course invalidate the Wilhelm figures but under the circumstances I think it is worth a try. I don't want to have to frame everything I sell... which is the recommended way and IMO these prints shouldn't be handled without some protection. The matte prints in particular are vulnerable to marring and could not be cleaned, though I do like the look, especially the velvety look of an all black background. <warm smile> Rich - Turn off HTML mail features.
