This kind of goes with my thread in the Intarsia section but I wanted to ask the question here to because it's about finishing. I am finishing a very large Intarsia picture and I need advice on what to use. I usually spray Deft (a polyurethane varnish) but I have some exotic woods and sun to worry about.
First problem- what special steps do I need to take to prevent the colors from "bleeding"? I am using Bloodwood, Cocobolo, Purple Heart, Yellow Heart, Zebrawood, Lacewood and Wedge wood; along with domestic woods like Oak, Hickory.... What precautions or special products do I need to use? (If products- brands?)
Second problem- The picture will be exposed to sun light. Any idea on UV protectors... brands?
All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
