Unfortunately no good clean fun to be found, Tones. Everything in my garage is now covered is now covered in craft herpes (more commonly known as glitter). It's EVERYWHERE!!! And that's before I start sanding.

That sucks pabs, I feel your pain mate. I've been waiting 3 months for some acrylic clear to cure properly. Is it cured, finger push test, leaves mark in paint, no! Sand a bit more , and wait a bit more...

Finally had an afternoon under 30 degrees and around 60% humidity, so got the clear coat on. I wasn't 100% convinced about using satin acrylic, but it has turned out magically.
Not the easiest to see in this photo, but believe me, it looks very nice and I am well pleased. Finally some actual progress. And the beauty of a satin finish, no more bloody sanding. Wait for it to cure and she's freaking done.
Ah, don't need to stress anymore...
