    So I have seen several people saying they seal their paint. So what I want to know is what you use and how they use it. I have had to repaint a couple of figures a few times just because the paint wears off while I handle it. I use Testors Enamel model paint. What should I use to seal the paint onto the figure so I dont have to worry about it rubbing off and how do I do it?

    Yeah, I think I remember you mentioning that Future Floor Finish before, as well as a funny story about you asking for it at some store.

    I have no such story, unfortunately (or fortunately).
