how to make a beaver tail shine

What type of lacquer or other paint or spray on chemical could be used to give a finished beaver tail a nice shine? Thanks

Unless they're in the water, of course. I'm guessing if you're using the real deal, that paste wax would be a better bet than anything you spray on. Vaseline would work as well as a good tanning oil.

OK

Vaseline is what I actually did use and it looks very nice.I just was not sure if it was a good choice or not. Thanks

Nelson: clear lacquer if you need the wet look.When a beaver is dry
to shine to tail.Do not use vaseline or wax,unless you want it
to collect dust.
