Lisa Pavelka's Poly-Glaze
It's always nice to discover new products to use with polymer clay. It's even nicer when these products come from one of our polyclay pals. Such it is with Poly-Glaze from Lisa Pavelka.

Poly-Glaze is specially formulated to create a quick drying, flawless, glass-like finish that glazes, seals, and protects polymer clay art. This amazing product eliminates the need for tiresome sanding, buffing, and polishing. Poly-Glaze can be applied directly from the Lisa Pavelka's Poly-Glazebottle with its own fine-tip applicator to selected areas of your art.

Scrapbook and paper crafters will be happy to know that Poly-Glaze is acid-free, non-toxic, and dries crystal clear, making it perfect for those one-of-a-kind embellishments.

My favorite aspect of Poly-Glaze is that it is self-leveling and works perfectly in creating amazing depth by applying multiple layers.

Lisa Pavelka's Poly-Glaze is available in 2 oz. bottles from Ranger Industries. For more information, visit Lisa's website: heartinhandstudio.com.
