Now that the honeymoon is over, it's time to build a tiki bar of your own, eh? To all the folks who have been giving me advice: Thank you. We've done the walls and ceiling with several layers of Minwax Polycrylic (satin finish) and it really looks amazing. Not TOO glossy, but really finished and professional. Granted, it does take some of that wonderful smell away, but not all of it. There has been no warping of the matting; in fact, it's flattened everything out (we used about 7,000 staples to apply the matting and then painted over each and every one of them... can you say OCD?). Anyways, pictures are forthcoming. Now comes additional embellishment--eg, volcano fountains, more pufferfish, vomit stains on the carpet. Stay tuned. And say what's up to Panda-Kim!
