Okay fellas, I just finished a shoe storage bench for my front door. The idea was to paint and sand it to look antiqued. I have finished the painting and sanding, but need advice.
Should I seal this piece somehow? I don't want to polyurethane it as I don't think it needs that much protection. But what about a couple coats of polycrylic? Or paste wax? Or should I even bother with finishing it since the idea is to look antiqued? If I choose to not finish, how long do I need to let a water based paint cure before sitting on it and not worrying about paint coming off?
Thanks for the help.
