RE: [rp-ml] clear coat for SLA parts

I would recommend a high build paint that people who make signs tend to use.
Then it can also be sanded lightly.

Subject: [rp-ml] clear coat for SLA parts

Does anyone have a clear coat he or she would recommend to spray on SLA
parts? I've tried about a dozen different brands of lacquers, polyurethanes
that don't seem to do a great job. The only thing that I found that works
really well is an extremely hazardous two part epoxy that I have to coat the
part with using a brush (I would much prefer to spray the part). Plus if
you get that stuff on your skin it almost instantly blisters your skin.
