- GtaGreat stuff!I used this on a window ledge extension project, due to it being exposed to some elements of the weather, I was looking for something to help protect the finish. I came across this and I'm glad I did, it applies very easy with a brush and the smell is really not over powering or bad, at first I was doing it slowly, just to realize that I should dip the brush in and spread it, it dries quite fast and when it's dry it really looks amazing.
- Linda S.works wellI do a lot of crafts and this is my go to for shine and protection. It is easy to use, goes on well and lasts. It was a good price for the quart size. I have projects I have done years ago and they are still looking great. They have not yellowed.
- LorettaWorks greatI've used polycrylic several times over the years for various crafts and it works as advertised. Great product. I used it this time as a topcoat for decoupage projects and it is a great finish. This can will last me a long time as well.
- Francesca Disbrow-ReadA must have in any painter’s toolkitI’m an artist who often works with acrylic latex paint (plus lots of other mediums) and after many long years of hard gained experience, I consider this a must have in my painting toolkit. I never used to prime or seal my work and would watch it disappear with time. Oil based sealants are a complete mess, and that’s the beauty of this water based sealant. It’s super easy to clean up, goes on beautifully on virtually any surface and can be applied in a variety of methods. Having multiple sheens is obvious but a super nice touch. I usually stick with satin or matte but high gloss certainly is beautiful and has its applications. In my most recent work,
I painted some plates i upcycled, and this product just sealed all my hard work in and will protect it for years to come. Highly recommended! - ReemAzharClear coat for chalk paintA bit opaque when wet but washes clear. Great product however the can I received had some dried chunks of glue in it.
- Bunny babeWork good for projects.Worked great for my projects. It’s easy to spread around on my projects, it’s not too thick or too thin, coats pretty easily and dries clear.
