Thanks for this! I've struggled with rough apatite coming out of the bath with a milky or murky surface even after coating a few times with clear nail polish beforehand so I'm going to try this.
Just want to put it out there, I've been using just a coat of polyurethane lacquer and it works great! Thanks for all your videos you have inspired me greatly..!
I am so excited to get started, got my chemical shopping list and have been collecting organics to start with. Your videos are awesome, you give step by step details, you have a nice voice that is easy to listen to. Since this vid is about protecting stones, I wanted to ask your advice on where a newbie should purchase stones. I have a local bead store that carries lots of different gems, but she is very pricey on her items. Do you have any e-stores that you would recommend? Thanks again for the great videos!
Great video! I am a beginner and I have found no matter which sealant I use (ProtectaClear, Polyurethane Lacquer, ModPodge) tends to dull my rainbow quartz or peacock ore. Since I don’t use the clear nail polish as a sealant, I’m afraid to use acetone remover on the natural stones. How could I remove the dull and shiny look that changes the original appearance of my stone?
Was wondering if you have had experience sealing gem silica? I'm hoping I can use clear nail polish but am terrified the acetone will hurt my precious cabochon
