I'm looking for a clear brush on sealant?

For use on paper beads. Something along the lines of clear nail polish only cheaper, more cost friendly. I've been researching it online for hours on end and cannot seem to word it correctly to find what I need.I'm looking for a clear brush on sealant?
There are various things you could use to both seal porous surfaces like paper/etc, and leave a clear gloss finish.





The cheapest would probably be a permanent white glue (like Elmer's GlueAll) thinned down about 3 or 4 to 1 with water. Dry thoroughly between coats if you use more than one.





Probably also as cheap would be a water-based gloss polyurethane from the hardware store (';indoor';). We use the brand called Varathane all the time for polymer clay because it's cheaper than gloss finishes sold for clay and works as well or better, and it's great on porous surfaces too. Other brands of polyurethane should be fine as well.





(The ';acrylic mediums'; you'd buy at a craft or art supply store will also work, but they'll be more expensive by volume, and they'll also be more scratchable than polyurethanes --though about the same scratchability as diluted white glue, which is also sometimes susceptible to clouding from later humidity.)





There's lots more info on various kinds of clear sealants on this page at my site if you're interested:

You could use acrylic polymer gloss coat. It will be in the section where acrylic paint is sold. It comes in different sizes. Look in your local paper for discount coupons for Michael's, Jo-Ann's, or other craft store.
