Omfg bless you and this video. Been looking everryyywhere for good info on gloss for poly. clays! This seems perfect, seeing how its not sticks, doesn't crack and you can control the shine level! Thank you so much c': So informative and to-the-point.
If I already covered my clay beads with one coat of Sculpty. I had no idea that it wouldn't hold up. Can I go over it with Varathane or is there away to get the Sculpty off the beads. Thank you for an awesome video! Very helpful!
I love using Varathane water based polyurethane on my polymer clay projects .The satin or gloss finish gives them a nice shine
I am definitely going to have to try this out. I've been using Triple Thick for about 2 years but my charms get dirty and I feel like it doesn't get that "hard-plastic" feel. Thanks for the video!
I could let the paint dry over night and it will still smear sometimes. I just think it has to do with the glaze making the paint wet again so then it smears. It doesn't do it all the time but I've found my way around it, but thanks anyway!
Thank you. Now I can finally start glazing my charms and making them all nice and shiny.
I'm so glad this was helpful to you! And thanks for the tip!
I love you so much xD you're truly inspiring to what and how I make things! You have amazing talent!
How exciting to start my new project!!! Perfect, straight to the point video. Thank you, also your charms make me so happy😍⭐️
Does the Rust-Oleum Ultimate Polyurethane glaze work as well? I found it at Ac Moore for pretty cheap (around $10 US for a ½ pint) and I'm not sure if it acts the same. It's the same brand and it's polyurethane, so I have a feeling it will but I'm not sure. Thanks! xx
i just wanted to say thanku thanku i just got my varathane glaze today ur the only one who answered all my questions about it and were to get it u r the best most awesome spectacular utuber :)
Hello! I just wanted to know if Flecto Varathane is the same thing as Diamond Flecto Varathane because on polymer clay express I can't see the diamond flecto varathane. Btw I LOVE your videos and keep up your great work! :)
I use DuraClear Gloss Varnish. It's a polyurethane gloss too.. so I think it's pretty much the same thing as the Varathane gloss. It works great! I switched from Triple Thick to this, and it's just as glossy as Triple Thick (as long as I use 3 coats of DuraClear), but it goes on soooo much easier, and does not seem to have the cons that Triple Thick does.
I love the Varathane Polyurethane gloss, works beautifully on my charms! Thanks so much for the heads up on such a good glaze Lily! That ravioli charm is so cute too!!
Have you found exactly that one anywhere?
Thank you for answering many of my questions. Great job!
I use the same stuff and I only use one coat and it's super shiny. LOVE it!!
Your always helpful, I was at my local Michaels and they had in their clearance section a small can like the one you show in your video of Minwax waterbased Polycrylic protective finish, or protective topcoat for wood floors. Since i remember seeing something like that in your videos. But just in case you were not aware of it , you should check your local Michaels, because that is where i picked up mine , on clearance for $4.48 for 8oz..
Great video Lily! I always look forward to them!♥♥♥♥
Would this glaze work with resin as well?
Could u please do a tutorial on the ravioli charm. Its so adorable!!! : )
Do you only use this for a glossy look, or do you use art resin as well? P.S. I purchased the polyurethane after watching your video and it’s nice.
Ahhh, love this video lily~!
I just bought the satin I didn't see the gloss when I got it but will that still look nice
Good use of words lily! Very well said and super clear, I could totally understand what your were saying.
Awesome! I'm glad another person has had a good experience with this same product (:
How did you correct your black acrylic paint smears once you glazed?
Before finding your vids I was already using the oil base Polyurthane, and I've never had a prob with stickiness. I just let my charms sit overnight and they're completely dry and stick free in the morning. I got mine from the hardware section in walmart, although I didn't look too hard so I don't know if they have the water based one there. It's a small 8fl ounce can. I've also found if you let the charms just sit out in the opened for about a day or two the smell will go away for the most part. -miv
It'll probably only start getting sticky if you leave it in the sun and/or heat
Hello! I heard that you could dip your charms in glaze..? I am very worried that it may get milky in random spots. Can you please do a tutorial on dipping your charms in glaze please? Thank you!
Would the glaze lighten or affect the blush (as in the make up type blush) on my clay project?
helloo :) i don't know if someone's already ask this, but do you have any recommendation for matte finish glaze?
thank youu so much :)
Do they have this version for outdoor? im trying to make veggie garden labels with clay, gotta make sure its glossy and waterproof
Do the glaze dries off solid? I have tried various brands like Sculpey & some other Japan brands but after drying, if I were to use my nails to "scratch" or "press" on it, there will be marks on the glaze.
Will this happen to Varathane Glaze too? Or does it happens to all sort of glaze?
yeah that Polyurethane bought to try and it's cool love the feel bought the matte and seal nice even gives it a hint of shine gloss just enough, oh like how the pearl wings looked with that seal gloss nice what is payment option on that site? i try and look for the site that has Amazon Pay makes it easier and I know it's safe, but this site doesn't show the payment option?
I was wondering if you could use Polycrylic water based varnish.
thx for making this video!!!!!
I love all your videos!!
Excpecially the charm ones!!
A few months ago you did a video on the pledge floor finish as a glaze on your charms, do you still use it? And did you have any problems with it?
Love this! Thank you for sharing :)
I'm planning to add polymer customization on the ends of my cutlery
Do you know if this gloss is ok to be washed? (by hand not dishwasher)
I would give it a full 72 hours of drying before trying to wash it by hand, but i think it should be good! I’m not entirely sure if it is food safe though - after researching online it seems like that topic is up for debate. Since this kind of gloss is used for things like wooden dining tables, people wonder why it may or may not be considered “food safe”. Please use at your discretion!
I start talking about the drying time at 5:58.
Lily ,can you do a the paint, the paint that you use to make you charms so pretty because like i try with just regular acrylic paint, uhh it didn't turn out well so please make one, i really want to make cool charms like you to give to my girl bestfriends cause i know they will like them.
I saw that in walmart (: I looked it up and it is pretty much the same thing minus the UV protection! Great stuff!
Can i use this also for my Air Dry Clays? Because i have a problems with rodents and insects chewing my ADC charms. Thank you so much ❤
Is this waterproof? I’m trying to add gloss to some mermaid scales I have on my tail I’m swimming with
Hi , i make order from polymerclay express and they didn't answer me , when the order will come :(
Oh thank you so much!
My glaze says that it is oil modified, but it also says that it is water based so is that ok?? ♡
Yup!
I found triple thick version of same brand , could it be used too ?
I love the sound of your voice...you sound a lot like ThatsHeart. :)
Also I love your charms, have you ever had an issue with peeling with this product? the polyurethane gloss I use at the moment has been peeling with a lot of handling and use. Which is a bummer because my charms are keychain characters and that.
is it shiner than satin/glass polymer clay gloss or is it the same?
I was bummed because I couldn't find this in my area and I'm on a super tight crafting budget, but I did find a polyurethane glaze by Delta Ceramcoat for $2.99 at Joann Fabrics, and it seems to be working pretty similarly to this glaze. I talked about it in a review and I'm still experimenting with it, but it might be a cheaper alternative for people who want to experiment with polyurethane glazes :)
Hello! I tried to enter both link but It says the page is not available :(
hi, I love everything you do!!!
do you know if a can use this glace on cold porcelain too?
You can, but if you are using something where you will put food or water on, you need a specific glaze that makes it safe to eat and drink off of. Btw I love bee vids too!😊
Hi, not sure if you'll see this anytime soon, but I have a couple questions if you have a moment. I think I'm going to use this on a building I am renovating for cats. It has OSB wood walls (kind of like particle wood), and I want to put one coat of this on the walls to protect/seal them just in case there is ever a cat that "sprays" any of the walls so that it cannot penetrate into the wood. My questions are, is the odor from this gone pretty quickly after it dries (unlike oil based polyurethane)? I'll need to have the cats in the building shortly after I use this and don't want to poison them with toxic fumes. Also I was wondering if this is thin enough to where it could be sprayed on with a paint sprayer instead of using a roller? I know that is a totally different application than charms, but I just thought you might have some good input on it. Thanks :)
dwight1860 Hi! I'm going to try my best to answer your question :D As far as I can tell, on the small scale that I use this product on, the smell is completely gone once it dries, which takes about 24 hours. However, I can't really judge how long it'll take for it to dry completely if you'll be painting a confined space. But overall, yes the smell is gone almost instantly once it dries.
I have heard of people using glosses like this, and watering it down so that way they can spray it on their clay sculptures, instead of brushing it on. I would double check this to be sure, but if they can do it for their sculptures, I don't see why you can't! I'm sure this will just mean you will need far more coats of it. I hope my input somewhat helps you!
Does it dry tacky?? Or sticky? Or is it completely hard and smooth?
Hi..thanks..just want to know if this is water proof..i am lookin for a water proof gloss
Lily, do you still use this glaze and did you find anymore cons on this glaze? Thanks~
Hi just want to know can I use acrylic based glaze for polymer clay ? Please reply :), cos there is no other glaze that I can find here :(
?? Do u have a tutorial on your flatback cupcake??
Can it be use in air dry clay too?
Can you use Oil-based Minwax Polyurethane instead of Water-based Varathane Polyurethane?
Cool, I need to get one too! But my problem is that I don't really know how to glaze my charms, so they don't look weired. Because when I lay the glazed charm down there's always too much glaze on one side and that looks ugly afterwards... Lol, I can't really describe it.. How do you glaze your charms? :)
Can i use the minwax oil based one?
Can you use on any polymer project (jewelry)
Hi! I know this is an old video so I don't expect an answer... I am impressed by the gloss and would like to purchase the 8oz off of Amazon. I clicked the link and the gloss looked different from the one shown in the video. Do you know if the gloss on Amazon still works the same as the gloss you use? p.s. thank you for such a helpful and informative video! :D
Hi there! Since I’ve filmed the video the label on the can has changed (It’s more blue and white now?) - as long as it says it’s the clear gloss water based varathane polyurethane from rust-oleum brand you should be good!
So glad you do (: xx and thanks!
Please make a Video of how u glaze them
I went to home depot n walmart and they were SO expensive like $30 for one can so thank you soo much!
Do the how to glaze video
you have beautiful craftsmenship! your charms are so cute. you use the polymer clay that you craft then bake? then paint? then coat?
Ya, she uses "Polymer Clay" which is really fun and easy to work with. But "Polymer Clay" is not used for making cups and pots and stuff like that that are actually used, there are other clays out there for those purposes. "Polymer Clay" is used for charms, sculpting, and jewelry making.
Julia Abi "polymer clay" 😂 😂 😂
The Varathane on Amazon doesnt ship internationally :/
The smell is pretty faint, and yes it does go away after it dries (: just like most glazes.
Do you still use this glaze? Would you still recommend it? :)
why did you pick these over sculpy? is there a specific reason?
You're welcome!
thank you for sharing this review! i recently got it (and it was not easy because it is not available in my city) and it works Perfectly i would totally recommend it too i don`t regret my purchase at all!
I was waiting for a video like this!!!! I'm so upset. I'm from Italy and I couldn't find a place online where I could buy it. I can't go on using FIMO glaze, it spoils all of my pieces -.-
I saw a can i forgot how many ounces it was at Ace for about 17.99
can you use topcoat instead of glaze???????
Thank you, this video really helped because I used to use triple thick by Americana and it was really smelly and sticky :[ so now I'm going to by this glaze that you use because it seems really good
did you try it?? cuz Americana does not work for me :(
+DilciaDelicious I bought and tried the varathane polyurethane glaze and it works a lot better than the Americana glaze. It's not that smelly and it doesn't get sticky for me :)
oh Thank you so much! :*
Love the charms!!!
does the smell not go away after drying?
Thank you!
No I don't use that anymore, I've moved on to this glaze mentioned in this video (: Sorry that I can't help you!
Is sculpey glaze water based
Does not ship in my country. Does anyone know any other place on the web selling this items worldwide?
Yes please can u do how u glaze your charms
can it diluted. . ?
how many ounces is the white bottle?
Very thorough and helpful. I just wish that you'd _actually shown_ the liquid too.
How buy on Indonesian??
Thanks!
I'm so glad I watched this. I was just about to go but glaze lol
Hmmm.. I wonder how this works as a spray on charms.
do a tutorial on glazing
would this work on resin??
Awesome review!
It's great stuff! And you're welcome!
Excellent video. Thank you!
Anyone know where to get it in Australia?
HI LILY! The link you gave is a different photo, do you think it's still the same product?
Hi there! Yes, this review video is from a loooong time ago and since then the company has updated their packaging. Just make sure you’re looking for that water-based, crystal clear gloss :)
Hi! I thought the same - and they removed "no odor" from packaging. Any chance you ordered it and can tell if it became smelly?
