Beginner here! Air dry paint issues

The DuraClear Ultra Matte works very well for sealing.

The regular DuraClear is out of stock, too. The one I show in my previous post is a different kind that isn’t the “soft touch” variety but says it is also matte. I wonder how it would work on vinyl.

Michael’s and Jo Ann’s have the DuraClear Ultra Matte online.

Welcome to the forum. :slightly_smiling_face:

Question about the DuraClear Soft Touch Varnish: can it expire, go bad, stop working after a while? I just found a sealed bottle in a drawer that I bought about three years ago. Anyone think it will still work ok to seal a baby?

I’d open it and try it on a section of an unpainted piece. If it’s not okay, you can strip that section. I’ve had mine for a looong time and it’s still good.

Thanks, Jean. Does Windsor and Newton take this stuff off?

It does.

I know! I must have gotten the last jar at Jerry’s and since then they show out of stock .

I know this was a long time ago. Is this something to use as a protective matte varnish since GHSP matte’s out? Just straight out of bottle? I have two little things of ghsp matte, glaze and satin. Can I use any of those in a mix? :thinking::sob::sob::sob:

I use this as my first coat of sealer. I use @anjsmiles recipe with cornstarch and water. I use Americana Soft Touch Varnish for the final seal but you can use just the DuraClear. I just like the feel of the Soft Touch.
