### Uses in Art and Craft

1. **Sealing Paintings and Drawings**:
– Apply a thin, even coat over your finished artwork to protect it from dust, dirt, and moisture.
– Allow it to dry completely to achieve a glossy, protective finish.

2. **Decoupage**:
– Use it as both an adhesive and a sealant. Apply a layer to the surface where you want to adhere the paper or fabric.
– Once it’s set, apply another layer on top to seal and protect the surface.

3. **Collage and Mixed Media**:
– Apply the glue to attach various materials like paper, fabric, or lightweight objects.
– Seal the entire piece with a coat to give it a uniform, glossy finish.

4. **Paper Mache**:
– Use the glue to adhere layers of paper together.
– After completing the sculpture, coat it with the sealant to give it a glossy, durable finish. Finishing Clay Items

– Ensure the clay item is completely dry.

– Apply a thin coat of ShieldCoat to the surface to add a protective layer , appropriate for your clay type.

2. **After Firing (for Air-Dry or Oven-Bake Clays)**:
– Once your clay item is fully cured, apply the sealant to enhance its appearance and durability.
– Use a brush to apply an even coat over the entire surface. Multiple thin layers may be applied, allowing each layer to dry thoroughly before adding the next.

3. **As a Final Gloss**:
– After any painting or decorating of the clay item, use ShieldCoat to give a final glossy finish.
– This not only enhances the visual appeal but also protects the paint and the clay from wear and tear.

### Application Tips

– **Preparation**: Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the sealant.
– **Application**: Use a clean brush or sponge to apply a thin, even layer. Avoid over-brushing to prevent streaks.
– **Drying**: Allow the sealant to dry completely between coats. This may take several hours depending on the environment.
– **Clean-Up**: Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use, as the sealant is water-based.

Using ShieldCoat Gloss Luster Water Base Glue Sealant in these ways will enhance the durability and appearance of your art and craft projects and clay items.
