STAEDTLER 8704 01 BK FIMO Clear Gloss Varnish for Polymer Modelling Clay - 35ml (Pack of 1)

I bought this together with the air drying modelling clay. I used this to varnish small items that I made using the fimo clay. It is a gloss varnish and adds a lovely look to the items that have been varnished. A little goes a long way and after varnishing all of our small items that we had made, it has hard to even see that we had used any varnish at all. I only applied one coat of varnish but you could use multiple layers and allow to dry between each coat. I am pleased with this varnish and the size is convenient. The lid seals tightly closed. As it is water based, it is also convenient to use this varnish on many other craft projects apart from using it with the modelling clay.

Mmmmkay. Let me explain this right here. My first pot I got was eaten by my little dog called Rosie. She ate right through the lid (didn't eat any gloss thankfully) and it spilled everywhere. HOT DAMN! So I had to get some more. I couldn't find anything cheaper than this. Fantastic price for the amount you get and it's going to last ages. I mean my first pot would have if the little doggie hadn't decided to make it her latest meal. Anyway! You can't find any gloss better or cheaper. Literally I looked everywhere for gloss and nobody else even does gloss for fimo. You can get this gloss for way more expensive prices but this is the same thing and cheaper. Hooray!

I recently tried the STAEDTLER 8704 01 BK FIMO Clear Gloss Varnish for Polymer Modelling Clay, and I'm quite pleased with the results. The varnish added a beautiful glossy finish to my polymer clay creations, enhancing their overall appearance and giving them a professional look. The application process was straightforward, and the varnish dried relatively quickly without any noticeable streaks. My only minor concern was that I needed to apply multiple thin coats to achieve the desired level of glossiness, but the final outcome was worth the extra effort. The bottle's size is convenient and will likely last through several projects. Overall, this clear gloss varnish is a reliable option for adding a polished finish to polymer clay creations, and I would recommend it to fellow crafters seeking to elevate the aesthetic of their pieces. It is quite costly for the small pot you get.

Good for clay leaves nice gloss

I’ve bought this for the second time now because it’s amazing. For others that also run a small business and make earrings or anything else that needs a lovely glossy coating that dries fast and isn’t sticky afterwards then I recommend this so much! I use this for my custom keycaps too that rely on durability as they’re used a lot and it keeps it’s finish

Goes a long way, not sticky at all. A life saver!

this varnish is prone to peeling off. its good for personal projects but not for professional use.

I bought this for putting around the edges of some handmade Fimo earrings. I have put resin on the tops and bottom of the earrings and I just wanted something to give the edges a bit of glossy sheen and some protection. This stuff is perfect and the jar is huge so it should last me ages. It's so much better than other varnishes I'd previously tried.

Es un buen barniz brillante que deja una capa dura y suave. Tengo que decir que no es súper brillante pero es lo que necesitaba. Para dar un brillo más o menos intenso suelo necesitar al menos 3 capas sobre la arcilla polimerica. Para evitar las burbujas recomiendo echar capas finas y de una sola pasada antes que intentar terminar deprisa ya que le quedan muchos desperfectos. En unos 20 min está seco al tacto y se puede echar otra capa pero endurece del todo en un día aprox. Pienso que es un poco caro para la cantidad pero en cada uso gasto muy poquito así que lo recomiendo

Vernis de bonne qualité et brillant (mais pourrait être un peu plus glossy)

Ho sempre usato la vernice Staedtler ma ho voluto cambiare in quanto non mi trovavo benissimo. Questo smalto è perfetto. Molto più liquido quindi si riesce ad evitare lo sgradevole deposito di prodotto che una volta asciugato, lascia un circoletto biancastro. L’asciugatura è molto più rapida della vernice. L’ho usato sia su fimo Staedtler sia su pasta modellabile di altro brand e non ho trovato alcuna differenza. Assolutamente consigliato

Good!
