Review: Amazing product recommend- polymer clay friendly - 100% pleased. Not overly viscous, no odor and water clean up- what’s not to like? It is a rather pale murky color in the container, really makes you question whether it will be clear once dry. Dried clear and hard. If you’re wanting a shiny professional finish this product will not disappoint. If you’re wanting a thick finish like traditional epoxy you’ll need to apply several coats. IMO this does not make it undesirable considering all the benefits it offers. Dries fast so if you were to bump the piece soon after applying it’s likely you will not ruin the finish. To apply additional coats follow directions. I make items from polymer clay. Polymer clay is notorious for interacting with adhesives and coatings then becoming sticky. This has yet to do this which is wonderful. I can’t use epoxy due to allergic reaction and UV resins are not always the best choice for a piece. I’ve used this for earring pieces and literally dipped the item in then monitored them for the drips and then wiped them off until the excess had run off. This has also been great for painting onto item which are larger. I can’t use apply as much or little as needed, something an epoxy or UV won’t do.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it be used with alcohol ink on tile ?**
A: Not sure about tile but yes to alcohol ink I usually let my ink dry overnight

**Q: What is the pot life?  How much time between coats?**
A: You can do the next coat in as little as 2 hours but 4 hours is the suggested time.

**Q: Do you have to sand the wood first?**
A: Yes you will need to sand the wood to 220 grit sandpaper befor filling pores with pore filler once pores are filled sand again to 320 then either spray or brush on Crystalac. I lightly sand between each coat for better adherence.

**Q: Do I need to use a tumbler turner?**
A: A turner will give the best results, as the drip method usually leaves it a little thicker by the rim, however it is possible to hang dry tumblers if you are diligent about sanding between coats after allowing those coats to completely dry.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Product is good, but not cost effective for my needs.
*by R***S on August 3, 2025*

After seeing so many people use this as an alternative to resin, I thought I would give it a try. It is more runny than I thought it would be, so you have to be very careful to just use small amounts and do several layers. I do resin pens with glitter and it took 9 thin layers. I did have some pooling at the bottom of the pen also. I applied it with a rubber finger tip at first but switched to a soft small brush after pooling. It helped a little but I still had it. The price is high, so after using I just switched to mini wax polyurethane. In comparison the pens look the same, same issue on pooling and same amount of coats. However, it was a lot cheaper and you get a larger amount. This product is good, but not cost effective for me. I will probably still use it, but maybe on smaller projects.
