Try using acetone on a q tip. Using acetone, I was able to get rid of the product. Make a small test area and see if you get the desired results.
It can only be used with a matte or glass finish.
Yes. Aluminum is a malleable metal with a high melting point.
Krylon and rustoleum can be used with just about anything. I use Ace Hardware's quick-drying metal laquer. Clear Guard from Sculpt Nouveau is convenient because it can be applied with a brush. As a glaze, I really enjoy it. Best wishes to you.

However, it is costly and only allows for one type of final finish. If you've tried any of Ranger's Vintaj Patinas, you'll notice that they recommend using their Vintaj glaze and sealer in conjunction with the patina process. It works well with the patinas as a glaze or extender. br>br> You can combine three different types of food. To use as a glaze, mix 4 parts of this glaze/sealer with 1 part of the patina color. This glaze acts as an extender while also giving the color a less opaque appearance. The patina dries quickly even with the glaze/sealer mixed in. I've also discovered that water can be used to thin the patinas, but I'm not sure what the long-term effects will be. Adhesion could be one of the long-term effects. It can be used as a sealer to keep the color of Vintaj metals from changing. The patinas don't need to be sealed in any way. They're in for the long haul once they've been applied. If you use sandpaper or a sanding block, however,.
I bought this to seal my bezels for jewelry making, assuming it would work because the bottle stated it could be used for that. Several of the pieces were ruined as a result of my carelessness. It's not smooth, and some of the areas are peeling and looking bad. I tried buffing them out, but it didn't work out. I'm very disappointed because I won't be able to return it because it has already been used. My money was a waste. Then I found out from others that they do not recommend this product for that reason, which I wish I had known before I bought it. But, oh well, one must learn from one's mistakes.
I began incorporating tin toys and trinkets, but discovered that the tin surfaces scratched easily and that the litho ink was frequently alcohol-based. This sealed the litho surfaces without causing the ink to dissolve, and they've held up to a lot of abuse since then. I also use it as a sealer/surface coat if I'm concerned about the safety of a metal surface, such as one that might otherwise turn someone's neck green, or one that contains nickel, a potential allergen, or, even worse, a vintage toy or charm with lead paint or traces of lead in the old solder or metal. This sealer provides the barrier I needed, especially since I have young grandkids who may come into contact with a necklace I'm wearing. I'm not going to let them eat anything, especially if it's vintage or re-packaged food. purposed elements whose origins are unknown, and to warn people about all types of jewelry that contain such elements. However, I'm confident that they won't come into direct contact with the original surface if I use the Ranger sealer. I also use it as a top coat with Ranger Patinas on embossed metal surfaces, which is what it was designed for. It also performs admirably in this regard. In my arsenal, I have other sealers and metal sealers, but this is by far my favorite.
If you want your jewelry to have a gleaming appearance, that's fine. Combines well with patinas to create a semi-transparent finish. Colors that are translucent. On raw brass, however, I despised it. When I tried to seal my raw brass pieces to preserve their golden color, the undersides of the pieces turned a greyish color, and some of the top parts appeared "dirty. " I'll definitely look for a higher-quality, matt sealer in the future. I'd appreciate it if someone could comment.
I run a small business and rely on this glaze to perform flawlessly every time. I've had problems with three orders that I've had to replace (on my own dime), and now I see that they're out of stock! I recently purchased a new one to go with it. This makes me extremely unhappy. I'll have to find a new glaze because this one is no longer suitable for my needs. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> It wasn't past its expiration date, but something strange happened with the glaze smearing and failing to dry. Because it hasn't been tested on aluminum, the company said it couldn't do anything about it. booo.
Because the package stated that it could be used over ink and was made by the same company as some of my inks, I purchased this to seal metal jewelry made with alcohol ink. It first reacted with my Ranger brand inks, smearing them and almost completely removing them in some areas. My jacquard brand inks, on the other hand, were not as badly affected. It didn't dry smooth either, even after painting it on with a paintbrush; it had ridges, a rough texture, and no shine.
I suppose it does what it's supposed to do. It prevents tarnish by sealing the metal. It was clear when it was finished. It did, however, dry to a nice satin finish, according to the product description. It had a gleaming finish after drying. My brass cuff was made to appear cheap and unprofessional. I'm sure it depends on the look you want to achieve, but it's far too gleaming in my opinion. I have no reservations about recommending it to others. As I previously stated, it depends on your needs, but be aware that it is not a satin finish. Vintaj is a brand I really like. I simply believe I received the incorrect product for my needs.
