Thx for sharing this. The results look worth the trouble.

I'll be making a trip to the hardware store tomorrow to pick out some kind of stain and seal. Might have something in storage, but it's OLD.

I'm taking a page from your book in that I'll try finishing the parts after they're popped out, but will do it incrementally as I progress through each assy section. Will probably stain and seal separately, with only a single coat of the seal..., a thin one .

I'm not in a super big hurry since I have some other projects that need to get completed before the printer has a permanent location in the house.

And 2) the items that I didn't pop out became extremely difficult to separate after the stain dried. See pic for details.
