Flecto Varathane
Considering the confusion on whether the Rustoleum (or Rust Oleum -
added for Google searches) Varathane is the same as the Flecto, I bought a few gallons of the Flecto brand 'just in case'. If anyone wants to buy any, whether to test it out (remember: once it's gone we'll all have to be using the Rustoleum version), because they can't find it locally, or they want it to finish off one last project with the same kind before switching, let me know and I can send it out in 2oz craft bottles. I started using it about a month ago - I like it a LOT better than Future. Seems to give the beads a more natural, 'polished' gloss rather than a plastic shell like Future does. |

my contacts at Rust-Oleum SWORE the formula is unchanged. However, given my
curious nature, I'm doing my own tests and looking for independent corroberation....and calling them again at Rust-Oleum next week. Sometimes asking things over a period of time really helps collect information. -- Sarajane's Polyclay Gallery Beads-Dolls-Wearable Art www.polyclay.com see the current auctions at: http://snipurl.com/aiid "Fenrir Enterprises" wrote in message ...

Sometimes asking things over a period of time really helps collect information. My experience with various other company takeovers of smaller products is that they just can't leave well enough alone, which turns into an utter disaster for anyone who uses their product regularly (Case in point: Sanford buying up the Berol pencil company, formerly Eagle, and discontinuing Prismacolor shades for the regular and Verithin lines, causing distress among many artists who had to redo/discard entire drawings). On the other hand, as a waterbased varnish, even if the formula changes, other varnishes such as Polycrylic, Krylon Waterbase, Future, Ceramacote PermEnamel, etc, seem to work with polymer clay, just not quite as well. I find it better not to take risks with products one intends to sell, though. |
