i used the liquid sculpy as a glaze and did nothing for my peices actually dulled them down. I hate reheating because the piece get so delicate when they first come out of the oven. Am i doing something wrong? What the point of using the liquid scuply as a glaze if it looks the same or worse then when you put them in the over. *sigh*. am i doing something wrong?

Mon, September 11, 2006 - 1:31 PMLiquid sculpey is not a good glaze, wish I had known somehow before you you tried it. Liquid sculpey can be used for a matte glaze if it has acrylic paints or glitter in it I guess.
Liquid sculpey is used for transfers for photos, and is excellent for bonding clay to clay. Have you checked out the polyurethane varnish you can get at the hardware store?
Hope the next project with glaze goes better, it totally sucks to do all that work then have it come out unlike what you were expecting.

Mon, September 11, 2006 - 6:59 PMI feel your frustration. Look for sculpey or fimo glazes they have matte and gloss.

Tue, September 12, 2006 - 5:16 PMHave you considered future floor polish...shiney but not too shiney...can be backed in the oven for a durable finish.

Wed, November 15, 2006 - 6:56 AMI have tried the "Varathane" varnish (from the can, don't get the spray) in satin finish which produces more than enough shine. Also Sculpey makes very small bottles of glaze in either gloss or semi-gloss.
Lastly, GOLDEN brand (in art supply stores) makes an acrylic polymer varnish which is compatible in matte, semi gloss, and gloss.
I have found the more gloss in the glase, the more sanding and finisihing the piece requires.
