Quick question, hoping someone has the answer to. I made a barn quilt for my folks over the weekend. I used outdoor paint (Benjamin Moore) several coats on each color. Well decided it needed a clear coat to kind of give it a shine, just grabbed the first polyurethane out of the cabinet and clear coated away. I get done and realized I used indoor urethane. Im upset with myself for not being more careful. So using GOOGLE to look some things up. Most people say not to clear coat a barn quilt as long as you used outdoor paint, makes it easer for touchups. Then wondering if I can go over it with an outdoor urethane? It sounds like I can and it will adhere but may still chip off due to the indoor stuff not being made for outdoors?!
So any suggestions? Or experience out there? Should I leave it, it will probably peel off but should peel off my paint.
Do I go over it with some outdoor urethane and hope for the best?
Thank you!!
