Thank you so much for your helpful reply regarding PYM II! Wonderful to know about the matte finish outcome. I think this product may well be what I have been looking for and I think Douglas should hire you to be the official spokesperson for PYM II! Your blog is wonderful. I have been here numerous times and you have many treasures. Thank you for your helpful answer and for all you do for the poly clay community.

Wishing you a rainbow colored day full of beautiful poly clay,

Anita

I am happy to help with your questions as best I can.

Although I haven’t tested the PYMII specifically on Kato Clay I do believe it works the same on Kato as it does on Premo, which I use most often. As far as a polymer clay compatible spray finish, I have not found any product better than the PYMII. It is perfect for sealing in powder finishes, such as mica powders and chalks and has a very matte finish. In fact it is so matte that I am hoping Douglas will be able to formulate a gloss version for those who like things shiny.

I use the spray for other jewelry making and crafting projects as well. It is great for spraying metals that you don’t want to discolor, patina or rust, as well as papers, fabrics or anything else you want to protect. It is easy to work with, quick drying, a UV protectant and acid free. (The way I’m talking about it, you would think I was part of the company and I’m not.)

Anyway, although it is a bit pricey, you’ll find it lasts forever and is excellent value. I think you would be pleased to use it on your polymer clay work.

If you have any other questions about this or anything else polymer clay related, there are hundreds of articles you can search through here at my blog, and a large community you can communicate and share ideas with. Feel free to ask anything you want, and myself or one of the members will try and help you out.

Douglas Shepherd at Precision Blue suggested I contact you to see if you can help me out with a question involving PYM II and Polymer clay. I’ve been searching for a polymer clay compatible MATTE aerosol spray mist that I can use as a fixative on cured Kato trans to which ground artist’s pastels had been applied previous to curing. Have you ever used PYM II for this application, or do you know of anyone who has? Are you able to give me any idea how matte/glossy a finish I might be likely to get using a light mist of PYM II for this application?

Thanks!

Actually it will….I have used in on outdoor pillows and its worked great and didn’t leave them stiff like I thought. You will need to reapply each season but mine are going on year two now. I have some outdoor curtains I’ve just used it on as well.
