RE: [Harp-L] tweed cover protector/sealant

[tom cox <tcslim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used to be a furniture finisher and flooring contractor, I have worked with loads of varnishes, lacquers, etc. I am confident about using the sealant, just not about taking my amp apart should I have to.
Any UK peeps recomend a product?
