acrylic paint sealer

Im looking to buy some acrylic paint sealer, but not sure which to get.

I paint yoyos using spray paints and an airbrush, and need a sealer that can cope with the constant handling and friction against the hand.

i need a sealer which isnt too thick but gives a good clear resistant coating. also the sealer cant have a grippy or tacky feel to it. it needs to be smooth.

ive seen some sealing products that come in bottles or jars. can i use the solution with an airbrush?

can anybody recommend something?

thanks

thanks, i just read the very informative 'The Complete Future' article.

one question though

what does the surface feel like after applying Future?

The surface needs to be durable and hardwearing and also smooth to touch rather than grippy or tacky.
