I had been enjoying UV resin, however developed an allergic reaction to it. If anyone is interested in an alternative, Sophie & Toffee has a really nice glaze, it's called "Sophie & Toffee Sealer Super Gloss". I've found that to give the most beautiful, consistent results, since stepping away from UV resin. I'd love to hear about your experiences with this glaze, as well if anyone else has tried it. I also love how it's not as costly, compared to UV resin.
that's such a good recommend! thank you so much. I myself try to avoid resin as i live in a home with other roommates and such, and i do not wanna make anyone sick like you experienced! Thank you.
@angelita alitas Hi there! Yeah, it is true that clay absorbs polish after some time but mine hasn't so far! It's been more than 3 or 3.5 years, my clay charms are still having this glossy look. I think other than absorbing the polish, it has to do something with the quality of the nail polish. But yeah, I think it's kinda safe to use clear varnish.
From my own personal experience with that mod lodge is that it makes the clay like sticky. I tried making earrings and the only kind of glaze I had was the gloss mod podge and so I used it and it worked well I wore the earrings and such but then after a week or two he earring started to get really sticky and flint and stuff would stick to it. I really would have loved it you mentioned that in the video. I don’t know if it felt sticky to you.
This was beyond my expectations for a product video, this was brilliantly portrayed and so understandable for even a beginner whoever going to buy a glazing material for clay products actually. How this video went I genuinely haven't watched any video of this level. Wow and thank you : )
Hey! Just letting you know that UV resin in its liquid form is harmful and can cause health issues. So if you are considering using it, please do your research and follow proper procedures such as wearing PPE (personal protective equipment) and having a well ventilated area.
@@rintohsaka15 I use Padico Star Drop uv resin because it doesn't emit fumes like others I have tried. However, I still wear a mask, gloves, and keep the window in my room open as a precaution.
@@rintohsaka15 yup...Gelish or any other brand top coat...its gel resine anyways Choose one without sticky layer so the piece does not need to be cleaned after.
@@o0oAeyao0o I’m glad you still wear protection and have the window open! It’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to working with resin :)
@@tejebonito gel top coat is a great idea! Still wear gloves and have adequate ventilation going because polish requires that as well. I’m not sure on how gel top coat would affect the polymer clay though over time but it’s definitely worth a try if you’re looking for something similar to resin.
The best from my experience and without chipping the varnish from the piece, it’s to glaze it with a very thin layer of fimo liquid and then bake the pieces for 20 minutes, it’s not too shine and it doesn’t become yellow or sticky. That’s only for polymer clay
Hello I bought liquid gloss varnish and i have few questions if you may answer them. They say it takes a week between letting the acrylic dries and using varnish it is true? And should i let the varnish dry for 24h? Please help me:(
Very useful to know! However, I would say that the UV resin will also discolour over time if it's left in bright light or sunlight. Some of the more expensive crystal UV resins are more slowly affected, but it's worth knowing. But it's still definitely the best of the bunch - plus if you scratch it, you can very easily repair it by painting on another layer.
@@Colorfultography it seems like you definitely should not be using resin as you have bad luck. Works well for me and I have been using it for many years with no problems.
Ok Rachy....I finally watched the whole video....Thanks so much for your hardwork, patience, research and testing. This was alot of work...I appreciate the valuable information....especially for me (someone who wants to make polymer clay miniatures). As a beginner...I find this very helpful. Thanks again.
Thanks for this comparison Rachy! The UV resin is pulling away from the edges because you are using a doming resin. You will want to use a casting resin instead if you don't want that to happen :)
Resin can be really dangerous, so always make sure that you wear gloves and stuff, because even if the reactions arent showing it could make you really sick. So always make sure to wear ventilation and gloves and stuff
Absolutely amazing video! Rachel thank you for always making such informative content! I’m watching this literally the day before I have to glaze an entire stock of brand new polymer clay earrings I’m debuting for a small convention in 13 days and a shop update after it. I cannot believe how perfect this timing was! I was literally going to do my research tomorrow morning on what would be the best option for glazing my pieces then this gem pops up on my sub feed! You are the best! A crafting guardian angel! 🙏🏽 Gracias!!!! Much love! 💕
Super helpful and you're always wonderful to watch! Thank you so much for your experiment! I love and work with UV Resin. So happy to learn this is the winner!
This video was amazingly informative! I applaud you for taking the time to really give us an in depth testing on each of the glazes you used, it really helps those of us who are just getting into making projects with polymer clay.
@@SalataSafsata Merhaba! Videoda, polimer kil üzerinde kullanılabilecek 6 farklı cila çeşidini test etti. Cilaların kuruması ne kadar sürdüğünü belirtmedi çünkü sadece cilaların bir yıl boyunca ne kadar dayanacağını test ediyordu. Ancak anladığıma göre havada kuruyan en iyi cila "Polyurethane Gloss Glaze" ancak oldukça pahalı. Videonun sonunda kilini cilalamak için UV Reçine kullandığını ve bu reçinenin UV ışığı altında 30 dakikada kuruduğunu söyledi, ancak aynı zamanda güneş ışığı altında 1-2 saatte kuruması için bırakabilirsiniz. Eğer Türkçem kötüyse özür dilerim, Türkçe konuşmuyorum.
I made a few small clay apples and used Modge Podge since its what I knew best and it never stopped being sticky and its been a year. Thank you for doing this.
in like 2016 i used clear nail polish top coat on my charms and today they aren’t cracked or yellowed or sticky or anything like that. idk if it’s the type i used but it worked for me
I'm just getting started and I rushed😖 and just used no light gel polish and it ate my whole batch. They were 100% covered in the polish and they bend in half like rubber🤦♀️.
I love experiments like this! Now I'd just like to see the same experiment but with the pieces kept in daylight for a year to see if the glazes yellow over time. That's something I worry about a lot and it's hard to find good info on.
I'm looking into making a charm for my friend's birthday and this was really helpful! I wasn't sure if I had to buy something specifically made for glazing polymer clay, I didn't even think of UV resin! I've been wanting to try uv resin for awhile so this is a good excuse to get some haha
Anyone here today. FYI DO NOT EVER USE RESIN WITHOUT PROPER PPE. Gloves, fumes mask, extremely well ventilated room or outside. This stuff, in its liquid form is so dangerous to your health. Use it outside whenever possible.
It's interesting. I've never run into the issue of triple thick becoming sticky or cracking with more than one layers. Mod Pudge definitely is sticky to me though. To this day I still prefer to use triple thick for glazing my little figurines :)
i have also had the issue with the resin pulling up from the edges, i dont really know what to do about it sometimes its very weird. i'll try moving quicker instead of waiting for the resin to settle.
Have you ever had issues with UV products/UV glaze staining and turning yellow? I use UV gel top coat on my air dry clay, which is usually used on nails, and lately I’ve been seeing my clay turn yellowish even after curing it for a while. I’ve read some comments saying that UV resin (which is similar to UV gel top coat) sometimes turn yellow, and that all UV resin turn yellow after a bit and that it is “unavoidable.” Is this really true? I want to know if I can do something about it.
I've been using UV resin for the past couple of week and I love it but unfortunately, after curing it turned a bit yellow on some white clay. Any ideas why and how to avoid that?
thanks! im new to glazing things and the sculpey one is just so sticky!! I thought I was doing something wrong. Im thinking of switching to the UV resin glaze technique now thank you!!!
And yes I do see it pulled away on the black piece " the uv resin" but it does look like the perfect thick gloss finish though. I see why you like the thick hack and uv resin the best. And when you say you didn't apply the uv resin to light right away how long is right away? Did you wait an hour then applied it to the 🌞 sunlight? Also I like the thick hack simple brush it on but would I need paint thinner to remove it from my brush?
Do you think this will work well over acrylic paint? I painted a ton of ornaments and was ready to seal them with Matte Mod Podge when I thought to Google if that was ok, and the consensus seemed to be that any kind of sealer over acrylic paint on polymer clay was a bad idea. I just want to make them last for my girls and not let them get all chipped and smudged. Any advice from anyone would be appreciated.
Thanks so much for this! I just started polymer clay although I have used modeling clay (inspired by you!), so I didn't know if I could use Mod Podge. I think it looks ok so...we'll see how it works out lol. I love all your videos, thank you so much for making them!
I love resin but also super allergic to it! 😢 Had really bad reaction on my hands after using gel nailpolish. And I've never been allergic to anything in my whole life 😭 Im gonna try to varnish on top of the resin to see if my body will accept it
This is awesome! I'm looking to make some Christmas tree votive candle holders and wanted to add some shine. Looks like poly is the way to go for my project. Have you (or other commenters) ever used spray poly on polymer clay?
Hi Rachel, lovely to see you. I'm looking fwd to watching this video! Thank you for your efforts, it's interesting indeed. My Daughter is a newly graduated Teacher, this year, I hope all is well with you, too :) xx
I used to use mod podge back in middle school (over 10 years ago now) and live in a fairly humid environment and much like clear nail polish it gets sticky after awhile. Definitely don't recommend it if you live somewhere humid. Theyre practically glued into the box I keep them in now and theyre very white and cloudy.
This is so helpful! Can you glaze one side of a charm with uv resin and then the other later without a visible seam, or do you need to do it all at the same time and hang it as a charm?

On the website it says resin. Im assumingnit would okay for polymer clay?
Hi 👋 the Sophie and toffee how did that do on your paint brush and hands? Do you need paint thinner to remove it? Or is it washable with water?
@@moonlightstripess yes, resin is safe for polymer clay. Just make sure to add it after baking the clay and your project is finished.
@@PoshCrochetPatterns Do not ever put resin on your hands. You need gloves, mask and very well ventilated area to use it. I prefer using it outdoors.
I used clear nail polish for top coat on my homemade clay and it's been three years, the shininess and smoothness haven't faded much if not at all!
That’s good to know and reassuring!! 👍

@@jenniferleftwich7 Not at all! Mine isn't sticky at all. Also, I'd rather suggest not to use mod podge.
I just watched this. I'm wondering about Acrylic nail polish. I did see a video using Gel nail polish.
I make air dry clay charms and I have been using glossy mod podge for years. I’ve been wanting to try other glosses and this video was super helpful.
I’m glad you found it helpful! I only use polymer clay, so the results may vary on air dry clay because they have different ingredients ☺️
Hi how long do you wait for the mod podge to dry before it’s all done?
From my own personal experience with that mod lodge is that it makes the clay like sticky. I tried making earrings and the only kind of glaze I had was the gloss mod podge and so I used it and it worked well I wore the earrings and such but then after a week or two he earring started to get really sticky and flint and stuff would stick to it.

Wow amazing video! I also really like when you glaze black it looks so shiny
I love how glossy black clay can look too 😍
Yes black clay looks amazing when it's glazed!
Best glaze I have ever used on polymer clay is Polycyclic. It doesn't flake off. Also, UV resting works great too.
Does it smear the colors on the clay?
Uv resin is the shiny sturdy queen~ worth every penny. Thank you so much for sharing your findings, it's so helpful ❤
I love UV resin, however, I've recently used it on some white clay and it turned yellowish 🙄 Is there a reason why?
