Well, he wanted protection for the SIDEART though. I was thinking about poly-ing mine, but I'm not sure if I want that look. I'll probably see what it looks like after I repaint, the evenness and how durable it is. Kinda leaning toward leaving it bare paint though.

After that you have a resin coating about a qaurter inch thick.

Sensei,
Where did you buy the poly-resin?
Sensei:
Sorry I don't have any pics. Perhaps I'll snag my wife's digital camera later and try to take some flattering pics.
As to where I bought it, I went to the local hardware store (I live in a small town) and simply described this stuff to them. (actuall it was my mom who clued me into this stuff....thanks mom).
I told them it was this resin stuff that you mixed in two parts and then poured them onto a surface to make the equivalent of 200 coats of varnish.
They new exactly what I was talking about but had to order it in. The next week I went in and picked it up. It was about $30 CAN. A little expensive but I thought it was worth it (instead of putting on coat after coat of varnish).

I built a bar in my house, and I used a product called envirotex lite to pour on a thick finish. You use a torch or your breath to get the bubbles out, and the finish is really nice, very similar to what you might find on a table at a restrauant. If you pour it on and leave it alone, it's a very glossy look, but I think there are also instructions for making it come out matte.
