If you've got some extra clay leftover but you're running low on varnish then not to worry we've got you covered.
We have developed a new ultra gloss varnish, and a low shine matte varnish which are both water and scratch resistant. They have been developed to work perfectly with air dry clay and provide a glazed ceramic look.
How to use our varnish:
1. Wait for your piece to dry completely for a minimum of 2 - 3 days. It’s important your creation is bone dry before painting (very light in colour and hard to the touch).
2. Apply 2 generous coats of our white acrylic eggshell base layer on the inside, outside and base of your creation. Allow this to dry for a couple of hours.
3. Apply Sculpd coloured paints if you have them
3. Apply 2 generous coats of our ultra glossy or matte varnish on the inside, outside and base of your creation, leaving 10 minutes between coats. Allow this to set completely overnight to ensure a water resistant finish.
And that’s all there is to it!
Apply 2 coats over a base coat of Sculpd acrylic coloured paint or Sculpd Acrylic white paint.
Allow 10 minutes for the first coat to dry before applying the second.
To avoid streaks, try not to overload the brush and use an ultra soft bristle brush, either from our Sculpd Pottery Kit or you can use your own if you have one.
