Why you'll love this add-on?
- Specially formulated for air-dry clay candles - never use regular varnish when making candle vessels.
- Two coats create a smooth, water-resistant barrier that protects your pot inside and out.
- Allow to fully cure overnight, then safely pour your wax for a long-lasting handmade candle.
- Paint your pot first, then apply varnish on top to lock in color and add shine.
- Made with 60% post-consumer waste, so your crafts stay eco-friendly.

So incredibly impressed with this varnish! It dries so much quicker than advertised which makes it even more amazing.
Lauren A.
It dries really quickly, gives a great finish to items and is easy to use. Make sure there is no dust or bits of loose clay or they will get garnished in to the finish.

I wanted something to elevate my air dry clay altars and this did the trick! I got the gloss one, it looks fab!

- Apply Sculpd coloured paints if you have them and wait for them to dry for at least 4 hours
- Apply 2 generous coats of our varnish on the inside, outside and base of your creation, leaving 10 minutes between coats.
- Allow this to set completely overnight to ensure a water resistant finish.
