letter orgs. It is a wooden cane with some reflective prizm tape, vinyl tape and vinyl stick on letters. I am looking for something to use as a protective covering. I have tried spray on acrylic, but it clouds the shine of the prizm tape. Clear tape doesnt work either as it leaves air bubbles. Is there anything I can use to seal and protect the cane without clouding the overall look. To get an idea of the product, go to www.fratwood.com—–.>wood——->Kappa Alpha Psi to see examples.
You might look into something called "shrink tubing" or "heat shrink tubing" (that shrinks tight around things when the heat of a "heat gun" gets close to it) at a hardware store. It comes in various diameters, colors ("clear" is one of the colors), materials, etc.

Clear Oil Base Polyurethane in a can; Apply with a smooth roller, hang on a string, allow to dry 24 hours. If further coats are required, scuff surface with #000 Steel Wool, or 220 grit sandpaper, [steel wool works best] wipe all areas, and apply second coat, allow to dry 12 hours . For each additional coat, repeat scuffing, wiping and rolling. The more coats you do, the more depth you’ll get. Oh, this stuff is toxic, do it a very well ventilated area, and keep fire away, fire bad! Good Luck.
