Great. As long as it's not the coating.

Hmmm... I'd better start looking at paint rollers
then. Thanks.

I'm talking about very gently running the brush
across the surface to pick up foam. No heavy
brushing at all. However with Golden acrylic with
proper dilution all foam will disappear as the
coating dries, no need for brushing.

MSA (Miniral Spirit Acrylic) Gloss in the aerosol
can. That's about the easiest way to get solvent
based varnish on. One thing about it is I haven't
fully worked out is the UVLS stuff in it.
