U-Pol Products 0796 Clear CLEAR#1 High Gloss Clear Coat - 450 ml

Use this to seal polymer clay. Gives it a nice sheen. Been using it a few years now. Does not turn tacky.

If you are good with a rattle can, this is great paint. It dries crystal clear and hardens better than the normal stuff. I used it to try to restore some mangled headlights and after trying several products this is my favorite so far. Reviewers that have cracking and chipping likely painted this over another previously applied paint with an incompatible chemistry. I've seen that before such as applying a clear lacquer over something else, like an acrylic. This paint goes on thin and wet. It will run easily. I found that applying "almost enough", which looked textured, smoothed out quickly to a glass finish, for the first coat. Second coat is a little more tricky as it tacks quicker and doesn't smooth, so for me it had to by slightly heavier. In hindsight, two light coats a couple days apart might have been better. Regardless, it's clear as glass once it dries. I don't know yet if it will haze up in sunlight over time. We'll find out- it can't be any worse than the other brands that yellowed up in a year. Anyway, practice first for best results.

Looks great, slow down as you apply it though.

Worked well for my project

Works great on protecting resurfaced headlight lens.

This is by far the best clear coat I've used. It is the only rattle-can coating I've found that gives results similar to a full compressor/spray gun/booth setup. I use it professionally on small products and touch-up (the larger parts and long runs get sent out, as we don't have a spray booth in the shop). This gives a very clear, high glass coating with high build. It is even somewhat forgiving on surface imperfections, and gives a good indication of how a given level of prep will coat with the full spray setup. I have not found the round spray pattern to be a problem. Even though others complain about it, I'm not sure I agree that a fan spray pattern would be nicer, as this nozzle gives me full symmetric coverage. Yes, you do have to keep it moving, but that is true of any spray painting -- always start the spray off the part, move across, and release the trigger momentarily for the turn-around. You really have to distinctly stop in one spot fairly long to get the bubbles, and you'll probably also get runs with that long a hold. The only actual negative I can think of is that it is really smelly, so use it outdoors or with VERY good ventilation. Even if you spray it outside and bring the parts in, it will outgas for some time and probably smell up your shop for a day or two. Great stuff -- I've relied on this clear coat since I found it and it is great to be able to get it at Amazon now for a bit better price than I used to get it.

UPOL seems to be better than the common clear available at hardware store, but it isn't anywhere near as good as a 2k like many seem to state. It stays somewhat soft and scratch-able. I used this as a way to restore several composite headlights and my results were not as desired. First, I cleared the headlights of a 90's full size Ford Bronco. They initially turned out visually great, but several days later, even though it was warm outside, I noticed a new scratch on one of the lights. No biggie on this, but... I then tried to do the same thing on some 2001 Taurus headlights. DID NOT WORK. Not sure why, but even though the composite lens had been sanded and degreased very well, it spider cracked the entire lens on both lights. Initially it looked good, but within 4 hours of applying clear the cracks appeared. I was so disappointed that I re-sanded the lights after letting it cure for several days, degreased again and re-sprayed the clear a second time. End up with exactly the same results. Must have something to do with compatibility of materials or the larger surface area of the Taurus lens. I also noticed that when I degreased, I used 90% Isopropyl alcohol, and that was starting to "melt" or gum up the 48 hour old clear. Perhaps 70% would have been better, but even 90% is a pretty mild degreaser. A single can of this clear did the two Bronco lights and the much larger Taurus headlights - twice- and the can is still has about a third full of product in it. Enough to probably do another set of smaller lights. If I ever feel compelled to waste my time sanding and spraying headlights (it is a lot of work to do this correctly) again, I will use a two part clear instead. Should be more scratch resistant and hopefully won't spider web on a larger lens. Also, I found it strange that even the manufacturer rep couldn't tell me if this was a lacquer, a moisture cured urethane or something else. I also noticed that the British, where this product seems to originate from, call all forms of clear coats, even 2k products, "LACQUER", which confuses the situation even more.

Great sealant for my clay earrings! Easy to apply and dries clear. Protects the color and finish perfectly. Highly recommend!
