What is used to clean the brush when you use the clear coat that is painted on

[@feelingnifty]

Great question! You can rinse it off with water or you can wash it with warm soapy water too.Hope that helps!

[@garywetzel8240]

Farmers usually pile them up on the fence Line. Most will gladly get rid of them for Free

[@feelingnifty]

That’s an awesome tip! Thank you for sharing 🙏😄

[@hectorlugo675]

I tried a brush on sealer after the rocks were dry, and it smeared the paint. The paint I used was acrylic and POSCO pens. What did I do wrong?😢

[@ritasalazar8711]

Can you please advice me on your item of choice for sealing your rocks? TIA

[@feelingnifty]

Hi Rita, Depending on your project here are the 2 I would recommend. The brush on sealer is good for smaller projects with a small rock or 2 or when you can’t go outside and use the spray on version. The spray on version is better when you want to seal a bunch of rocks, but you should be doing the spray outside with proper ventilation. Here are the dealers with links: Duraclear Gloss Varnish sealer (brush-on): amzn.to/3hfGaiG Krylon Clear Coat UV resistant (spray-on): amzn.to/2X55h0i Cheers and Gluck! Jasmine
