Sparkle Finish, 8 oz

What this decoupage glue and sealer does

Here is Sparkle Finish, 8 oz, the way we bottle it. The 8 fl oz bottle suits a steady run of ordinary projects.

Drying is fast enough that a multi-coat project fits into one sitting. The glitter is suspended through the medium, so it lands evenly instead of settling in one corner.

We want the paper to show, not the medium, so it clears as it cures. You stick the paper down and seal it with the same jar, no second product. Our own surface chart lists it for appliques, beads and gems, canvas and ceramics. We keep one of these open on the bench most of the time.

These are the bottles where the look is already in the mix. Each one is still a decoupage glue and a sealant doing both jobs, with glitter, crackle, antique tint or a dead-flat matte added, so a single coat glues, seals and finishes at once. They dry clear around the effect and give the same durable film as the plain formulas, which is handy when you want the finish itself to be the decoration.
