Used on bar. Mostly beautiful but a few places around the edges are tacky and now have finger prints in them. Will a second coat hide the prints?

A second coat should help problem. I put on one coat in two batches. On the second batch I did not stir enough and ended up with a tacky surface in a few places. Talked to company and they said to do a second coat. Put on second coat and had a good chemical reaction. No tacky areas now. I have had the product on my bar top for three years and it looks as good as the day I put it on....i.e. GREAT!! Just be sure to stir the 2 components together completely when making a batch.

It stays very clear unless you touch the adhesive before applying. The finger prints will show through. Otherwise very clear.

Not that I have noticed. Its just a clear covering. The only concern might be trapping fingerprints underneath. You just have to be really careful with the application of it to avoid that.

My bar does not have a protective finish on it. When I use it I put a table runner on it and use coasters for the drinks. I think that putting an acrylic or polyurethane finish would be a great idea. I have also thought of purchasing a 'plexiglass" piece to but on the top. I hope that this helps.

No. It is a brushed finish and doesn't show fingerprints but usually my fingers are wet when I use it and I wipe the water off when I'm done.

The aluminum sides are textured, virtually eliminating any fingerprints. Since I have to refill the unit every morning, and handle the machine daily, I've yet to see any fingerprints on the unit. Haven't cleaned the aluminum sides yet. Have had the machine for about 6 weeks and am very pleased.

I only have the matte silver which works well for the purpose I bought it. This one will not pick up fingerprints which I believe is the case for the shiny silver model.

It depends on whether or not you come in contact with the walls very often. I love the look but the slightest nick with a fingernail leaves a mark. My cats like to sit in the window and they destroyed the wallpaper under the window with their back feet. The pattern is kind of spongy and it doesn't firm up after painting - at least it didn't for me. I do love the look, tho, and try to think of the blemishes as giving it character. I've had no trouble with it sticking to the walls, without using extra adhesive, but I did use a good primer first.

I have one in black. No problems with fingerprints. I just wipe it down now and then.

It is very clear and does reflect but I have not noticed this to be a problem since I use a stylus. I have found fingerprints to create more problems than clean ones

I have both sizes and the finish is beautiful and does not gatther finger smudges like stainless steel appliances.I prefer not putting mine in dishwasher. If film builds up inside, just scrub with baking soda or Bar Keepers Friend.

I added extra polyurethane onto the top myself - three coats, But I still use placemats anyway. I have set stuff like glass of iced tea down for short time and it did not leave stains, etc. ( after adding the poly ) Note the poly I added is just a bit rough in a few spots, but I'm not a carpenter or furniture refinisher :-)

Sorry, misunderstood question, yes, after all layers are done, use an alcohol pad to remove that tacky later. You should be able to use structure with our without base and top coat. I do not have top coat on my nails right now because my tech is doing art work for me so I just left the structure as a clear coat over natural nails for now.

Hi, there, I got the clear and I'm very pleased with it. Great clarity and after all, I'd have fingerprints if I didn't have a protector at all. I wanted to preserve the bright colors. Enjoy!

I clean it with bar keepers friend or Bon Ami. I don't have streaks, but I do have scratches. I like that look though. It comes with a guard to protect from scratches, but I don't use it.

Depends on what the fingerprints contain. Of course something like chocolate will show up on anything. The material on the Day Timer is easy to clean.

Well, so far mine has stayed in really good shape. No finger prints at all. I do think it would be easy to wipe off though, if it did get dirty.
