DecoArt DS19-9 American DuraClear Varnishes, 8-Ounce, DuraClear Gloss Varnish

been good to use, & very nice smooth finish on canvas, wood, metal. would buy again!!!

Wonderful product. Easy to use and works great to varnish my rocks after I've sealed them. Love this stuff.

It really works. I have a new puppy & this has come in very handy. No real odor & my dog doesn’t seem to be bothered by it. Good value & I would buy again.

What I liked about this is that it's a one step process and goes on easily. Dries clear and shiny. One has to be careful with some paints as it will smear. I would suggest testing a small area if you have any questions of your paint smearing. Then just don't use with that type of paint. I love this stuff!

Thick cream, nice but you have to use a lot and it did not last long. I hav bought better creams from Amazon which i will go back to buy as this was not the best.

Great sealant for painted rocks, wood crafts, or any craft you want to be durable outside. I made “bird-scares” to protect our berry bushes. They were cheap wood circles and I painted them with Apple Barrel indoor-outdoor gloss acrylic paint. I sealed them with this DecoArt varnish, and they lasted from April to December of this year. I wish I had a before pic, but I do have the pic of one after I brought it in from the gardens. The colors are still good, and the thin wood is still intact. We had temps from 0-98 degrees F, weeks of bright sun, weeks of cold rain & snow/freezing rain. They held up better than I ever thought possible. Also, this varnish did not smear colors when I applied it, unlike ModgePodge (sp?). I recommend smooth surfaces for this since it is a bit thin and might take several layers for full protection.

Fast drying clear coat. I use for paper quilling and over acrylic paints. Glossy protective coat that protects many different surfaces. I have bought this more than once. Easily applied with a soft paint brush.

I’m nearly out of this and will soon need to re order and I absolutely will keep this in stock in my art studio. I love this product for my arts and crafts. It plays so nicely with resin and glitter which are two of my favorite things. I also use it to stick dried flowers to things. It dries perfectly clear and you would never know it’s even there… love it!

As much as I like the product, It was delivered open and all leaked. Please give special instructions when ordering these products as they should be handled with care!

Parfait!

This is a great product and I will use it to replace what I currently use to glaze my polymer clay charms. This is my second bottle. I wanted to make sure I don't run out.

I'm really impressed with this varnish. I was after something to seal some craft items, and tried this on a whim, and I'm glad that I did. At 236ml, it's a decent sized bottle and it seems to go a really long way. Apparently it should cover nearly 6m squared. It's really easy to apply with a brush, and it covers well. I'm finding that I'm getting a nice gloss finish with just 1 or 2 coats. Note that other reviewers have mentioned that it can cause acrylic paint to wrinkle. This DID happen to me, but I found that by letting the piece dry for longer before adding the varnish, the issue didn't occur.

Happy with this I painted a set of wooden chairs that I painted then used this varnish and very pleased with the end result.
