I have a smaller variety of varnishes. The only one I've used and not have a good outcome is the triple thick as the last time I used it, it dried tacky so I haven't used it since. However, I may give that a go again when I get the chance to buy a small bottle! Have you tried the Mont Marte (Australian brand) Gloss Clay Varnish Signature? It is made specifically for polymer (apparently may dry tacky on polymer clay due to plasticiser in clay) and air hardening clay (Dried absolutely perfect with no tackiness in my experience). I think it may be polyurethane based. They also made the iridescent varnish with pretty glitter in it.... might look tacky (not feel) to some people but it is quite pretty! Mont Marte makes air dry clay too. Similar to Jovi but a tad more fibrous. I also have the Jo Sonja Polyurethane gloss varnish, Dura-Clear Matte and High Gloss finish. in my experience, they all dried perfectly fine on air dry clay... and the water droplets test. I will get back to you on that! Thank you for your educational videos as always! 🥰

@RedRockingBird 10 ай бұрын

Thank you JoJo. That’s not good that you found it went tacky, I wonder if the bottle needed a good shake or reacted with something, not sure. I really love it. A lot of this style of varnish are fairly similar so worth trying any we can get hold of. What I like about the triple thick is the small sizes they do them in so it’s really not expensive to try a few. I’ve not tried that brand no, sounds like you are a pro crafter 😁 happy crafting 😊❤️
