What paint sealant do you use?
« on: August 29, 2013, 01:06:42 PM »
I am in need of switching brands of sealant for my paints as my acrylics sealant has a tendency to not do my customs any justice, it doesn't dry properly and easily ruin hours of work and now I am just tired of it.
Customizers, I need some help. What is a brand you would recommend that is available to purchase online with great quality? I want my paint to have a nice sealing coat without making them sticky or having the paint over time get odd shapes and get dust stuck to it. :(

I use either Mr. Super Clear (MSC), Testor's Dullcote, or Mod Podge, depending on the project.

Testor's Dullcote for full body sealing. Mod Podge if I only need to seal a symbol.

Oh, and Krylon Triple-Thick Crystal Clear Glaze for the eyes once everything else is sealed.

I use the same listed above. I personally don't trust Krylon, mostly because I work on resin dolls and have horror stories about it on another forum.

Thanks everyone!
I am so incredibly tired of my sealant never working and this may do the trick for making my customs turning out much better. :)

Same for me. The one I have atm is just rubbish, thankfully the only bits that need it are under the hooves and the eyes for most of my customs.
Thank you *wyvernchick* for my lovely avvie!

Could someone tell me what local stores might sell these sealants, namely Testors Dullcote?

Walmart, Hobby Lobby and Michael's are all far from me, but if I need to make a special trip, I want to be sure I'm going to the right place!!

Those stores are all far from me too. Testors Dullcote is supposedly sold in certain Walmarts. Not mine though. So I ordered it off Walmart.com for like $6.
I -think- its sold in Michaels but not 100% sure.

Mod Podge should be at any of those stores.

You can find Testors in Walmarts (not all) in the model car section of the toys. Not allwalmarts have these. They took them out for a few years and are putting them back in.

Mr. Super Clear I order from Amazon.com or eBay. It's pretty pricey but I think it's worth it. Flexible clear and matte (or you can get gloss or flat), I use it on my Monster high bodies and joints and the wear better.

Triple thick can be found at Micheal's (I only use the brush on kind by DecoArt) and it does NOT remain sticky when dry. I bought a huge jar of it 7 years ago and split it between some cleaned empty paint bottles I had and I still have quite a bit of it. I love this stuff for glossing eyes and symbols as well as a floating agent and sealant for Glitter.

so far michaels, hobby lobby, and gaming stores have it near me. walmart is hit or miss. id look up what gaming/hobby stores are near you and start making calls, see who has it in stock. usually any that have miniatures and miniature painting supplies will have it in.
