    I like a heavy automotive sandable primer. Helps firm up the softer polycrylic finish. If you have a spray gun this is easy. Spray and sand, spray and sand, spray and sand. You continue to fill in the glass weave, ultimately obtaining a smooth slick body ready for paint.

    The Minwax sealer and Polycrylic are brushed on with a foam brush. Paint a fuse area then lay your 3/4 oz glass down and paint again. Let it dry and then paint again. Dry time is 30 minutes. Sanding will be required eventually. Sand, then blow off the dust with a low pressure air nozzle...

    I use Sherwin Williams Automotive clear coat because a store is mile away. But you will need a good spray gun. Maybe there is a hard clear coat in spray cans.

    Are you going to glass with poly or epoxy? Water based polycrylic is exceptionally easy. It will give you a softer finish but dents and dings will happen regardless. Using a automotive clear coat paint will help.

    Glassing is fun. Seal the wood 1st, it will save a ton of weight. Any sanding sealer will work.
