Faceups Preservation of Beans

So I've had this happen in two different dolls where I've had chipping on the bottom of my dolls feet.

It's anthro dolls with toe beans so inevitably there will be chipping regardless, haha.

Now, I'm looking for a better to seal them to minimize chipping? Normally, like all doll parts, I finish any using like 3 layers of sealant to finish it off. I prefer to use zm finishing powder if volks had it in stock but I'll keep msc around since they don't always have it . Is there a better way to seal it? Should I maybe get a brush on matte medium for thicker layers?

My next step is to get some fabric for doll stands to be both decorative and maybe add some padding. The little animal feet don't really fit shoes and I have gotten into the hobby deep enough to make my own in any effective manner haha.

But tips please! Thanks for your time

 

Well on the first, sounds like all my doll stands are all getting covers made.

And that minwax? Definitely gonna go try it.
