Just a info note that some of you may not be aware of about Krylon clear 
spray for final waterproof coating.

The usual Krylon clear Acrylic spray (#1303) you get in your local store is 
NOT UV rated. It will flake off in about a year or less depending on 
exposure. There is a better product to use.

The stuff to use is Krylon UV-Resistant clear Acrylic spray (#1305) and is 
usually difficult to find in the usual hardware store places. You may have 
to special order it from a local art supply house or a distrubutor.

I've been using this #1305 stuff for 20+ years and it lasts a long time. As 
usual, YMMV but worth the effort to find and use it instead of the usual 
stuff.
