No worries! smile There are a lot of choices. I was considering your previous recommendation, or the system three mirror coat, but then found a video of a guy finishing turned bowls. He used the clear coat applied with a scrap of towel and nitrile gloves. Looked pretty good and he showed how much control he had on a curved surface. I was sold. At this point I'm afraid of screwing something up after all this time invested. Taking the cautious route. You saved me $50 though vs woodessence. smile

Got rolling on further sanding and bondo patching mdf screw holes. Nothing pic worthy. Might get into color tomorrow.....
