brass clear-coating
Terry,
The aerosol cans of clear lacquer are easy to handle and convenient for such a job. Make sure the brass is oil and wax free. If you have used a polish like Brasso which I suspect leaves a waxy residue, clean it off with lacquer thinner and paper towel first. Lay the strips out on newspaper and shoot lightly from about 10-12"" away moving the spray longitudinally along the piece in an even and fairly rapid pace stroke (about 1 foot per second). Try on a test piece first, like the newspaper to get the technique. Do not put too much on, as you say it will run. If it runs it is easily cleaned off with lacquer thinner while still wet, and then just try again.
