PYM II - Spray Varnish for Polymer Clay

The easiest way I have found to varnish polymer clay pieces is to use Preserve Your Memories II spray varnish! It is a UV protectant, dries in a couple of minutes and leaves a low gloss shine.

So easy and so fast and one can covers a lot of polymer clay!!

A very popular way to varnish a piece is to dip it in a container filled with Future Floor Finish (found at your local grocery store).
Bake the piece at about 200 degrees for about 15 minutes after the “varnish” has dried.

There are other great varnishes on the market.

Use only acrylic or alcohol-based varnish on baked polymer clays.

Do not use polyurethane, enamel or oil based varnishes which will never dry properly. Baked polymer clay does not need varnishing unless you want a shiny surface (use gloss varnish) or to protect paints or powders applied to the clay.
