Sculpey gloss glaze

Sculpey Gloss Glaze is a clear, water-based varnish specifically designed for use over oven-bake clay (including Sculpey and other brands). Its primary function is to provide a brilliant, high-gloss finish to pieces after baking and cooling, while also creating a durable protective layer against external elements.

Correct Usage (Step-by-Step) 

1. Preparation and Cooling: Ensure the clay piece is fully baked in the oven and allowed to cool completely before applying the paint. 
2. Stirring Instead of Shaking: Gently stir or mix the contents with a wooden stick before use; avoid shaking the bottle entirely to prevent the formation of air bubbles, which could mar the piece's final appearance.
3. Applying thin layers: Use a very soft brush to apply the paint. Always apply 2 to 3 very thin layers rather than a single thick one, as thick layers may peel later. 
4. Diluting the paint (optional): If the paint feels thick or clumpy, you can dip the brush in a little water or add a few drops of water to the container and stir gently; this improves flow and minimizes visible brushstrokes.
5.  Drying time: Allow 30 minutes of drying time between coats. Once finished, let the piece air-dry completely for 24 hours to achieve maximum hardness and shine
