Well, I'm trying to coat a print that is on a very matte surface so I want to
add some sheen but protect the print at the same time. The image can get
scuffed very easily ruining the print (I've scuffed two already). A lot of pro
labs and framers and some photographer use industrial print coating machines
that use water based chemicals. I'm looking for a spray can that will do the
same thing but go on nicely. These are also going to be shown soon so they need
to have a certain durability and framing is out.
