I didn't care what they were saying....they're ALL experts, and each better than the rest...most just show their *** to make themselves feel better...so I totally get what you're saying.. I was really looking for advice on what someone has done in the past. Maybe an idea that someone had success with.. Like I said, it looked great when I finished it with the matte SEM... I just don't want to worry about it not being durable enough, or resistant enough to an accidental spill, if there was something else I could try. I'll send it like it is if I have to..!
