1 hour size in the morning. Should be fine to clear that afternoon. Don't over brush. Quick is the way to do it.

My thoughts exactly. Go with an auto urethane if this is on a vahicle.

Keep that frog juice for frogs. Dido on auto urethane. Add a few drops of the urethane catalyst to your outline color if an outline is used with standard lettering colors such as 1 Shot if you intend to clear over the outline also. Or outline with HOK.

I usually clear gold with Sikkens 2 part Auto Clear. I found that out after a phone call to Bill Reidel probably 15 years ago.
