Finally got the weather and time to tackle my project again and it was great! Having learned from my previous mistakes, I decided to string up the possible pieces for sealing. It went well until I discovered on two chair bottoms the paint was bubbling in big pieces. I’m not sure if it was because I used too much paint before or if it was too much spray sealant but I freaked and debating doing the rest. I was able to fix it about 85% once it hardened and I couldn’t leave some pieces unsealed so I kept my distance and kept the can moving. No other pieces reacted this way thankfully.
Those I couldn’t hang I lay out on cardboard so they wouldn’t stick and it worked perfectly. As pieces dried I brought them in and rearranged the sets to get maximum coverage. I used both a matte (on cushion pieces) and gloss sealer. This time I worked from my back patio and it was so much better. Besides the humidity being lower, I was able to capitalize on the sunlight and breeze.
