I use Krylon clear for the artwork I do. This art is on a board(scratchboard), but it cannot be cleaned with anything prior to clearing.
I got a few fish eyes on one of the boards I sprayed. Is it possible to wet sand Krylon clear with 1000-1200 grit to get the fish eyes out and respray? I may have sprayed the first coat a little wet. If I spray a mist or light coat first, do you think I could avoid fish eyes next time? Remember, I can't clean prior to spraying.
Thanks in advance for any help. John

I would go lighter like 1500w/d and keep working with it. When you use krylon, keep it light like you do with a workable fixatif. Even though it says non-yellowing, things DO happen with that stuff after time. The lighter the better. Signs are ok but something to last YEARS and Years, no-no. My suggestion is to go to a small body shop and spot him a few bucks to clear it with his urethane when he or she is clearing something else. my two

I have tried the Rust Oleum in the past and may try it again. I will also keep the body shop in mind . Thanks Robert and Felix for the responses.

I acquired a can of Krylon Triple Thick Clear Glaze, sorta by accident. Used it for the first time on a diecast racecar decal job that I recently duplicated. With only 2 coats, it looked like a genuine urethane clear job! Depending on what you're doing with it, it may be worth a try...

Nice decal work. Are they water-slide? Do you use an Alps?

Thanks! All lettering was done on my aging Roland plotter. It's a duplicate of this one: The blue on the fullsize car was Coburn blue chrome, and the green was 2 year fluroescent AccuCut, all hand cut. The diecast was hand painted in these areas. Scale was reduced to 4.6%, and is an exact dupe using material from the same rolls of vinyl.
Told the car owner i'll NEVER do one that involved again. I drilled rivets and tucked the vinyl like it was a show car. Big dummy me. Both cars were a Giant PITA, but I still like doin' em...
