wiping varnish over paint

jamison00 home \| projects \| blog 8 posts in 77 days 77 days ago	Topic tags/keywords: question finishing Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone has ever used a wiping varnish over latex paint. I’m building a desk from MDF, and have taken every measure to try and achieve a good finish, but I’m worried that the mineral spirits in the wiping varnish may attack my paint job. I’d like the extra protection and a little bit of sheen provided by an oil based finish. Thanks. James -- James
