Coin inlay

[jw2170]

Not sure if this is the correct forum.

I am making a "Lazy Susan" and will be using an Australian Florin as a decorative inlay.

To protect the coin from tarnishing, can anyone suggest a finish or coating to apply to the coin.

im no expert maybe a clear two part resin or maybe glass inset over the top of the coin

JW...I agree with burnabybear, a two part resin would fit the bill. I use Inlace resin (InLace) for my inlaid canes. The resin is clear, non-yellowing, rock hard, and best of all it isolates the inlay from environmentally tarnishing effects.
