                        Sealing Groundwork

                        I am about to finish my first diorama. Is it a good idea to seal it with Future or a lacquer clear coat? This dio is of a field with a hedgerow. Thank you for your input!

                        YOu should NOT seal it with high-glossy Future! YIKES!

                        You should be careful about sealing vegetation, like grass and hedges. They could clump together. The only thing I would seal would be dirt sprinkeled on roadways, fields, etc.

                        If you seal it at all, use flat laquer.

                        If you feel you want to seal your groundwork, use the right tool for the job...Woodland Scenics landscape Cement. If the landscape is very simple, Doog's suggestion will work, too.

                        Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
