Which Glaze Is The BEST For Polymer Clay? One Year Experiment

[@rubydragonjd1]

I had been enjoying UV resin, however developed an allergic reaction to it. If anyone is interested in an alternative, Sophie & Toffee has a really nice glaze, it's called "Sophie & Toffee Sealer Super Gloss". I've found that to give the most beautiful, consistent results, since stepping away from UV resin. I'd love to hear about your experiences with this glaze, as well if anyone else has tried it. I also love how it's not as costly, compared to UV resin.

[@princessmanitari4993]

that's such a good recommend! thank you so much. I myself try to avoid resin as i live in a home with other roommates and such, and i do not wanna make anyone sick like you experienced! Thank you.

[@moonlightstripess]

On the website it says resin. Im assumingnit would okay for polymer clay?

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

Hi 👋 the Sophie and toffee how did that do on your paint brush and hands? Do you need paint thinner to remove it? Or is it washable with water?

[@Beelzebubby91]

@@moonlightstripess yes, resin is safe for polymer clay. Just make sure to add it after baking the clay and your project is finished.

[@candibell8051]

​@@PoshCrochetPatterns Do not ever put resin on your hands. You need gloves, mask and very well ventilated area to use it. I prefer using it outdoors.

This was beyond my expectations for a product video, this was brilliantly portrayed and so understandable for even a beginner whoever going to buy a glazing material for clay products actually. How this video went I genuinely haven't watched any video of this level. Wow and thank you : )

[@shirelfinkel5703]

Hey! Just letting you know that UV resin in its liquid form is harmful and can cause health issues. So if you are considering using it, please do your research and follow proper procedures such as wearing PPE (personal protective equipment) and having a well ventilated area.

I make air dry clay charms and I have been using glossy mod podge for years. I’ve been wanting to try other glosses and this video was super helpful.

[@brooke4608]

Hi how long do you wait for the mod podge to dry before it’s all done?

[@emelymurguia4013]

From my own personal experience with that mod lodge is that it makes the clay like sticky. I tried making earrings and the only kind of glaze I had was the gloss mod podge and so I used it and it worked well I wore the earrings and such but then after a week or two he earring started to get really sticky and flint and stuff would stick to it. I really would have loved it you mentioned that in the video. I don’t know if it felt sticky to you.

@angelita alitas Hi there! Yeah, it is true that clay absorbs polish after some time but mine hasn't so far! It's been more than 3 or 3.5 years, my clay charms are still having this glossy look. I think other than absorbing the polish, it has to do something with the quality of the nail polish. But yeah, I think it's kinda safe to use clear varnish.

I just watched this. I'm wondering about Acrylic nail polish. I did see a video using Gel nail polish.

[@florecitadelcampo13]

The best from my experience and without chipping the varnish from the piece, it’s to glaze it with a very thin layer of fimo liquid and then bake the pieces for 20 minutes, it’s not too shine and it doesn’t become yellow or sticky. That’s only for polymer clay

[@DrainYourBattery]

Mod podge is the only glaze I have access to so this was really helpful! I had never used it on my charms because I was worried how it’d work

[@creepycutiecrafty]

Very useful to know! However, I would say that the UV resin will also discolour over time if it's left in bright light or sunlight. Some of the more expensive crystal UV resins are more slowly affected, but it's worth knowing. But it's still definitely the best of the bunch - plus if you scratch it, you can very easily repair it by painting on another layer.

Thanks for this comparison Rachy! The UV resin is pulling away from the edges because you are using a doming resin. You will want to use a casting resin instead if you don't want that to happen :)

Have you ever had issues with UV products/UV glaze staining and turning yellow?

I’ve read some comments saying that UV resin (which is similar to UV gel top coat) sometimes turn yellow, and that all UV resin turn yellow after a bit and that it is “unavoidable.” Is this really true? I want to know if I can do something about it.

That's because you are using a doming resin. You would have better luck with a casting resin 😊

And yes I do see it pulled away on the black piece " the uv resin" but it does look like the perfect thick gloss finish though. I see why you like the thick hack and uv resin the best. And when you say you didn't apply the uv resin to light right away how long is right away? Did you wait an hour then applied it to the 🌞 sunlight? Also I like the thick hack simple brush it on but would I need paint thinner to remove it from my brush?

I don't have a lamp and have been using the sun to cure them for the past year. Sometimes they are hard but other times they turn tacky after sitting in the jar I store them in. Does anyone know why this happens?

[@skipperringo]

I think it just isn't cured fully. Because it relies on UV to cure it can take a lot longer if the layer is too thick (and it doesn't always look like it's that thick). I'd suggest leaving any that are still a bit tacky to cure a bit longer and to work with multiple thin layers rather than a single layer. Hope this helps!

[@MelissaMedia909]

@stealthpath My guess would be that it is based on how strong the uv is on the day you set them out. Some days they are stronger than others. Also I would suggest wearing a respirator when working with resin.

[@tornadoallie3]

[@Toltecgrl]

Thank you for this review. Does the UV Resin have to be used with a mask? I’m not sure if I’m getting it mixed up. There was some kind of Resin where people say where a mask it’s dangerous if you don’t. The UV Resin looks so shiny like glass.

[@saintnikz]

Yes. You should wear a respirator (not a surgical mask like people wear for covid), goggles for eye protection, and gloves. Make sure you are using in a very well ventilated area (open windows AND a fan) and understand that even doing all that, you are taking a risk. We do not yet know the long term effects of UV resin, but we do know it is toxic in its liquid form pre-curing. That is a fact. It can become an allergy for individuals very quickly, and once you're allergic, you can't use it anymore. And that is not just if it touches skin; you can develop an allergy to it from breathing the fumes. Also, even if it doesn't smell to you, the fumes are still dangerous. There are companies that will claim non-toxic and no VOCs (volatile organic compounds) but they are lying and can get away with that as resin is not regulated well. Just be sure to be informed in your decision and please don't apply UV resin the way it is shown here; you *need* gloves. Resin on skin will cause irritation and can lead to eczema. It is hard to find solid, evidence-based information on resin because it hasn't been studied much, but please look into it if you are considering using it especially in a home you share with others or for big objects. I've done my own research, but I like to always double check info I get from people on the internet and encourage others to do so too! 😊

Hi 👋 how did each of those products hold up to your paint brushes and hands/or gloves? Once I used the can varnish that I had gotten from home Depot which is usually used on flooring wood and I expiremented on a piece of wood and it ruined the paint brush and made my hands sticky and it took days for it to work off my hands. I'm wanting to know how did those other chemicals react to your hands and paint brush?

[@creativerachy]

All the products are completely fine of my brushes! I always wash them off under water or wipe them dry with some paper towel, depending on the product. Generally I wear gloves when I have large batches of resin or I'm glazing a lot of charms, however they are very difficult to wear when filming and I end up getting resin on my camera (which is not ideal!). I am alway very careful when using UV resin without gloves by making sure I'm not brushing it anywhere near my fingers. I have never had a reaction because I make sure I don't touch it with my bare skin.
