Thanks for the comments guys.

Am conversant with epoxies as I've build a few yachts so the idea of a hard finish topped with a laquer is appealling.

It also allows me to move forward quicker, as Michael, I need to seal my wooden dash before can even I venture out into any inclement weather. So it is an important part.

I'm using walnut veneer atop a timber backing so I really just want the finish timber look in place and sealed off to prevent, mainly water sourced, damage.

Would using a good quality brush with the epoxy get a reasonable finish? Of course I could later sand the epoxy prior to spraying laquer to get a flat finish.

How do polyurethanes hang onto epoxies? I'd hate to have the urethane peel off later.

Cheers
