    Easy Finish for Christmas Ornament

    I am looking for a easy finish for Christmas ornaments that I have made on my scroll saw. I can use spray poly but I don't have a spray booth. I am not sure how well wipe on poly will work with all the nooks. Any ideas?

    Spray Deft? Easy and fast drying.

    For a glossy finish I use a spray on acrylic finish from Walmart called "Triple thick Glaze" The have just a "Glaze" but the Triple thick is much better.( $3.47 here). I find Deft takes more coats to work well as does the "Glaze" from Walmart. Heat the spray can in hot water for 10 minutes before using. (A good policy for all spray paint cans.)
    No PHD, but I have a DD 214

    I use Valspar clear acrylic spray from Lowes quite a bit. Works well. Have never run across a can that didn't spray well. It levels out quick and dries quick also.

    Thank you Jim and Chad. I tried the spray acrylic on a test board. WOW! Nice finish and dries really fast. I was impressed. I will be using it on most of my small projects. I also tried spray lacquer. I dries fast also but the odor is strong.
