5.0 out of 5 stars This stuff is great!

I'm an artist / former art teacher who now makes jewelry out of all sorts of random found objects, and most of them were never intended for use as jewelry. I started to incorporate some tin toys and trinkets, but found the tin surfaces scratched easily and the litho ink was frequently alcohol based. This sealed the litho surfaces without dissolving the ink and they have held up to all sorts of wear since. I also use this as a sealer/surface coat if I have any questions about the safety of certain metal surfaces such as a metal that might otherwise patina someone's neck green, or contains nickel a potential allergen, or worse yet, a vintage toy or charm that might have lead paint on it or traces of lead in the old solder or metal. This sealer provides the barrier I was looking for, especially since I have young grand kids who might touch a necklace I'm wearing. I'm not about to let them put anything in their mouths, especially if there are vintage or re-purposed elements whose origins may be unknown, and warn people accordingly about all such types of jewelry. But, with the Ranger sealer I know that they will not come in direct contact with the original surface. I also use this product for it's intended use, as a top coat with Ranger Patinas on embossed metal surfaces. It does an outstanding job with that as well. I have other sealers and metal sealers in my arsenal, but this is my favorite by far.

3.0 out of 5 stars It works fine with the Vintaj Patinas...but is expensive and limits you to one final finish type
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2013

If you've tried any of the Vintaj Patinas made by Ranger, you'll have noticed that they suggest their Vintaj glaze and sealer as a complement to the patina process.

It does work well as a glaze or extender with the patinas. You can mix 3-4 parts of this glaze/sealer to one part of the patina color to use as a glaze. Adding this glaze to the color acts as an extender and also results in a less opaque look. Even with the glaze/sealer mixed in, the patina still dries quickly. I've also found that I can thin the patinas with water, but am not sure what the long-term effects might be as far as adhesion.

As a sealer, it's useful for inhibiting color change in the Vintaj metals. The patinas themselves don't require sealing. Once applied, they're on for good. However, if you use sandpaper or the  Vintaj relief block  to remove the patina coating from the raised design on the Vintaj metal pieces, it's a good idea to seal the piece. This keeps the newly exposed metal parts from darkening over time.

So, it works okay...but there are other, less expensive options for sealing. There are any number of  spray-on  or brush-on sealers that can be used on metal and they not only work as well or better...but are also considerably less costly. I've used spray sealers that are water-resistant (this Vintaj one isn't) and I can choose the final finish: matte, satin, or gloss. This sealer by Vintaj limits you to only one finish -- sort of a cross between gloss and satin. Another nice option for sealing metal pieces is  Renaissance Wax . It's not inexpensive either, but a little goes a long way and it's often used for sealing fine metals.

Just started using these different products and I really like them so much. They are fun to work with and you can make your metal beads and charms look so different. You have to follow inst, but it's very easy and I use an emory board as well to shine or buff things. I will probalby buy more, and I would recommend these to anyone who likes to do this kind of thing or is just interested.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Thinning Patinas
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2016

I haven't used this too much yet, but I do appreciate how it thins out the rich, opaque patina hues, helping me layer them with slightly more subtle effects. It's also touted as helping extend colors, but since it doesn't offer a great economic advantage, I don't really see the point in using it to make colors go further. (Seems like you may as well just go ahead and buy more of the colors.)
