  1. Johnny K, Nice fountain, I think the clear will just make the raw clay look wet not stay white. I once made a piggy bank that was going to be black and white and I wanted to get it to the person I made it for so I decided to spray it with clear instead of firing it again. It turned out to be a pink piggy. I will just do some tests and see before I commit to a finish on the sculpture. The clear probably works great on colors, vs raw clay. Thanks for the info!
  2. The sculpture is unglazed. I am going to do a trial of Thompsons on a scrap. I need to see if the clay darkens and stays the wet look or if it will dry white. I didn't want to glaze it for fear that I would loose some of the detail with the glaze thickness. I will let you know the results as I try different products. Russ, where do you find Okon. Not familiar with that brand? Thanks!
  3. Peter, Thanks for the info, I understand the need to seal and I will be bringing them in before it freezes in my area. What I was looking for is whether anyone has used the seals, and do they yellow or darken. Is there a brand that doesn't? What are the preferred brands?
  4. Hey All, I apologize in advance if this topic is in the forum somewhere, but I had no luck in my search. I have newly started doing some garden sculptures with low fire clay and prefer not to glaze them as I like the white of the clay. I need to seal them to put in my garden and am looking for your preferred sealers. Thompson's was suggested on a website, but the can says it can yellow over time. My sculptures are smaller at this point, 12 inches or less. Thanks in advance!!! Joanie
