Hi! Thanks for this video ☺️ I recently used gold eyeshadow on my black polymer clay piece for "Hitting the highlights", then baked it. Now I want to give it a polyurethane varnish coat..but when I do that, some eyeshadow highlights spreads onto the black part of the piece also, hence making it less black. Any idea to avoid the spreading of the eyeshadow while varnishing??

Hi Preetha, this is because the excess mica is moving around with the varnish. So remove the excess with an old toothbrush first, then apply varnish.
