Browse Forums Finishing Touch Re: Shadow Box Wall Decor 102May 12, 2010 6:14 pm I was going to suggest Marine varnish that comes in a spray can. I saw it at the hardware store the other day. You could hang it on the clothes line to spray it. I think the coverage would be adequate and the dangly bits would be fine. WHo knows though, particularly when the jewellery is made up of a combination of metals, how it would react with the spray. The clear sprays would have elements that may react as perfume does I would think. Then on the other hand, if it was sealed in the box with no condensation then I would think it would protected? You would have to handle it with gloves and the framer would have to do so too I would imagine, just to be really sure? www.themaxbuild.blogspot.com forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20717&start=300 www.leahspaperpassion.blogspot.com Re: Shadow Box Wall Decor 103May 12, 2010 6:33 pm themax I was going to suggest Marine varnish that comes in a spray can.

I think if I do go ahead & order them, I will give them a good wipe with cotton gloves & then handle them with the same. Thank you TM.

Atleast I tried to find a cheaper way I'll see how it goes as I get closer to d-day.
