Default Can you.....


Greetings,

I am guessing this is going to be a silly question, but I heard no question
is silly if one does not know the answer g So on that note,

Can you use poly-urethane to seal larger objects/ Or for that matter smaller
ones?
Thanks in advance

Kathi

Hi Kathi, I have used spray on polyurethane with no problems on pieces I've
had for 15 years. If you spray too heavily though it will get yellowish.
There are some aerosols however that will not dry when sprayed on polymer
clay. I found that with a clear acrylic coating. You'd do best testing it
on a few small pieces first. Do check out www.glassattic.com and see what
it says there as previously suggested. You'll find some good answers to lots
of questions

Some products look like they work well with clay but degrade over time.
Polyurethane is often a problem---I haven't tried every brand, but I

suggest
you test before commiting to major usage. www.glassattic.com has a lot of

info
on finishes that work. Future floor polish is popular with many artists,

but I
prefer Flecto Varathane, a floor sealant that is water based. Here's some
