I've built several benches to do stained glass on. They aren't
anything fancy, just built out of 2x4s and plywood. The work surfaces
are 3/4" finish plywood. Before they get soaked in flux, sweat, and
beer, is there a good finish to use for wood surfaces used for stained
glass work? I'm sorta thinking that it's best left unfinished, but if
there is a good finish, now's the time.

Thanks, Michael

I had some SherwinWilliams clear acrylic industrial finish that I put on
some worktables in my warmglass shop. It sure looks good and seems to be
holding up well. It was left over from a couple of restain/refinish jobs
we did, at at $105/gal I decided not to let it go to waste.

At that kinda price I'd be wanting to do shots. I'll be back down
your way here in a couple months, Moonraker. If your offer for a
visit still stands, I will try and make it by. It's always refreshing
and inspirational to see quality work and meet the people who do it.

you might lay a piece of sheetrock on top. it makes a great cutting surface
and soaks up all those liquids. It also is impervious to the soldering heat.
