SCULPT NOUVEAU PATINAS AND METAL FINISHES

STEP 3 - Apply a Protective Sealer

A protective Clear Sealer would be used to protect material from the environment or to set a nish. Iron, steel and
aluminum need a protective coating to keep from oxidizing or rusting. A polished surface on bronze, brass, or
copper will tarnish without protection. After achieving a patina or color on your material, the protective coating
will help it last longer and help to keep it from changing. We suggest applying a clear coating in almost every
instance. The best way to apply any brand of clear sealer is to spray it on. Spraying reduces bubbles and ridges
formed by the brush, which help to break down the product faster. Small propellant applicators are available,
made by Badger or Crown, if you do not have a compressor. Two or three light coats are preferable to one heavy
coat, letting each dry before applying the next. No protective sealer will last forever. A regular maintenance
program is needed and should be scheduled according to the individual conditions. Wax may be applied over the
clear sealer to add even more protection.
