Deco Art DuraClear Polyurethane Gloss Varnish, 236 ml (Pack of 1)

I absolutely love this stuff. I've found it incredibly difficult during the winter period to be able to varnish off my rock designs without having to go outside to do the job. I've been typically using Plasticote clear spray to do this which does a great job but useless during the winter as it's too cold to go outside (and against the weather to dry it well) but also the spray can become too cold to use. With this in liquid form I can apply varnish in any season. I've also noticed I can control the amount of varnish better. I've found myself to apply at least 2 coats of varnish to my rocks for my ideal finish. It doesn't take too long to reapply again either, so I can spend most of the evening doing most of the varnish without too much waiting around. It's also really easy to clean off, it feels safe and hardly has much smell. It also doesn't leave any horrible streaks or marks either once applied. Will definitely get this again when it eventually runs out, which may take a while.

I used to work with Cernit varnish for my polymer clay charms, but in UK there are no suppliers so I researched the issue and decided to pick this one instead. I am quite happy with it : 1. No stickiness on Fimo; 2. Dries quickly 3. Leaves nice shiny coat. Things you should note about this varnish if you use it for polymer clay creations : 1. It is white and quite runny (unlike Cernit which is more thick and transparent from the beginning), so if you need a very glossy look be ready to apply more than three layers and be patient, because every layer needs to dry; 2. Use soft, clean, flat brush, if you will apply very thin layer you will get brush strokes, I take a nice amount of varnish with brush and spread it fast, but gently, almost not touching surface of sculpture, it looks white at first, but do not worry, it will be clear once it dries. Overall I like how it works, for most of my sculptures this should work perfectly and some times even a better solution than Cernit. Hope my review helps someone!

Easy to use. Dries quickly. No odour. Cleans up with soap and water. Leaves a nice finish. But no good for items ( like painted rocks) that go outside. The finish comes off after one rain storm.

This sealant is really good. I use it for putting on my pebbles. It is long lasting and goes a long way. You only need a thin coat first, then once dried a second coat and this should see your painted pebbles for at least two seasons outside. Cheaper than epoxy resin and less messy to use. It’s very fast drying. Highly recommend.

I bought this to glaze a bisque ornament and it was incredibly easy to use, left a great finish without brush strokes and actually dried really quickly between coats.

Absolutely Brilliant for rock / pebble painting to go outside. Make sure your acrylic paint is well and truly dry and set before varnishing, I leave them a good 24 hours before varnishing. Nice high shine finish after 3 coats on top of the Acrylic paints I use. Touch dry and able to give a re coat in 10 minutes then leave for 24 to 48 hours to set rock hard. Ran product under tap and water just beads off and even with a good rub its doesn't shift! Perfectly weatherproof for the rocks to go outside. No nasty strong odors like you get with other varnishes so I am able to varnish inside without stinking out the house. Its a brush on solution and my only advice is to brush it very thinly to begin with in one direction and any lettering a quick brush over is best.....let first coat dry for 10 to 15 mins...then you can apply and slop it on as thick you wish. I found that if I applied a thick coat first, any lettering / outlining in paint pens will bleed ever so slightly. Problem solved by being sparing with the first top coat. Wonderful stuff

This is such a good varnish! Beautiful gloss, easy to use, not too thick neither too thin, dries quickly, super sheer, not yellow, and is nice to touch. Lovely!

I'm really impressed with this varnish. I was after something to seal some craft items, and tried this on a whim, and I'm glad that I did. At 236ml, it's a decent sized bottle and it seems to go a really long way. Apparently it should cover nearly 6m squared. It's really easy to apply with a brush, and it covers well. I'm finding that I'm getting a nice gloss finish with just 1 or 2 coats. Note that other reviewers have mentioned that it can cause acrylic paint to wrinkle. This DID happen to me, but I found that by letting the piece dry for longer before adding the varnish, the issue didn't occur.

As much as I like the product, It was delivered open and all leaked. Please give special instructions when ordering these products as they should be handled with care!

This is a great product and I will use it to replace what I currently use to glaze my polymer clay charms. This is my second bottle. I wanted to make sure I don't run out.

Happy with this I painted a set of wooden chairs that I painted then used this varnish and very pleased with the end result.

Vernice facile da stendere. E si asciuga velocemente. Io l'ho usata su legni di mare utilizzati per decorazioni natalizie e va benissimo. Il legno risulta protetto, liscio e lucido al tatto. Inoltre non ha un odore troppo forte. Il pennello si pulisce con acqua calda. Consigliata.

Wonderful product. Easy to use and works great to varnish my rocks after I've sealed them. Love this stuff.
