Re: "hydrocote" is spelled.....(?)
Judy, I provided you info about the product before, will quote again: "POLYSHIELD® CLEAR SUPERPOLY The supreme finish of all, short of polyester. A super tough, super hard, non-yellowing polyurethane that is UV stable to meet the most demanding wood surface protection, interior and exterior. Designed for finishing and refinishing of all interior and exterior wood furniture, kitchen cabinets, table tops, counter tops, office furniture, flooring, children's furniture and toys, school desks, pews, bathroom fixtures and above waterline marine woodwork. Highly versatile - apply by brush, spray or wipe on. Self-sealing (for exterior application), or seal with our Clear Wood Sealer (for interior application), if so desired." I can't see any mention of "amber tone" in the the description (unless crypted in a manner I can't understand), and the product I have / use is perfectly neutral (both in the can and after application) and it absolutely does not tint the image in any way. Also, it dries completely in about 2-3 hours. Actually, the finish itself hardens and loose its tackiness in about 30 minutes but since the paper is humid after application, it takes another 1.5 - 2.5 hours to consider the finished print completely dry. IIRC, Don also was using / have tried Hydrocote -> maybe he can also share his experience with this product. My experience is as stated above...
