So Where's the video? what's wotj?

From jonnistix

You know, that is not a bad idea. Have you ever tried the process I used for a few over the years? It is time consuming, but it is really the absolute cheapest way to refinish, other than staining.1) Decide on a color2) Stain the shell in a similar color. This is something you have to think about for a minute.3) Apply a base coat of lacquer or poly, and I am getting to where I prefer lacquer.4) Then, while the lacquer is still wet, sprinkle the first layer of glitter all over. This is a messy process, but if you stick wotj over and over, after about 4 coats/layers, you will start to see the full effect of the glitter. It is truly a site to behold. The color is just simply amazing, and no picture you will ever take can fully show off the incredible effect and depth. mcjnic also helped me to further refine the technique by suggesting I put just a kiss of the base stin in the first few layers. It adds a depth and character you could not get any other way. Lightly sand between coats and then for the top two or three layers use clear gloss and to top it off, after the final coat/layer, use a good, clear high gloss poly. This is only for the very last as it will add a good solid strong coating on the top.Like I said, it is time consuming, but the effects are so dramatic, you may never use a wrap again, if it something you know will not devalue because of it.
