I am new to the group. I just got the bug plans and will be
starting mine soon. I would like to make it a DLG version.
In terms of using glass use a water based polyurathane like
polycrylic from home depot. I have used it will glass and no
bagging equipment with good results. Use a paper towel to apply and
soak up excess flip the tail over and repeat on next side. You can
add food coloring to the finish to give it some color. Hope this
helps.
