Alice,
I like your toys, how do you get that shine?
I've been using a spray gloss, and can't get
that deep shine that you
have on the ducks.

MAKING
VARNISH LOOK LIKE GLASS
Making varnish look like glass is very simple.
First I would recomend you use a varnish called
Varathane (gloss finish). Apply about 3 coats,
and then once
everything is dry, wax your piece with a wax
type chap stick.
Then "buff" it with a paper towel until you get
the shine you desire.
AVOID
VARNISH BUILD UP
When applying a finish to a piece, put it
on a piece of cardboard with staples driven in from the back side,
keeps the finish from
building up on the sides.
