Step 3: Sealers
Clear Guard
Clear Guard is a clear, durable, air-drying lacquer
that results in a hard, fast drying, and tarnish
resistant film. It has excellent adhesion to bronze,
brass, copper, and other metals as well as to patinas
and rusted metal. Clear Guard is suitable for use
with all types of application equipment. Once
thinned, it may be used with sprayers.
Ever-Clear
Sculpt Nouveau Ever-Clear acrylic urethane is a two
part clear, durable, low VOC, air drying coating. It is
formulated for use on bronze, brass, copper, steel,
wood, terracotta, ceramics, and concrete. Sculpt
Nouveau Ever-Clear provides unusual under-film
tarnish protection as well as superior resistance to
UV light, salt air environments, and most chemicals.
Because of its unique chemistry, orange peel is
virtually non-existent. Clear Guard is UV stable and
highly resistant to weather, water, and chemical
damage. It also resists marring and perspiration
better than most solvent lacquers.
Ever-Clear may be thinned up to 20% with Sculpt
Nouveau Solvent Thinner.
Metal Oil
Metal Oils can be used on all metals. They have UV
& Corrosive Inhibitors. Apply only thin coats of the
Metal Oil with a soft cloth, brush, or spray to the
clean metal or dry patinaed surface. Burnish lightly
with a clean cloth. Allow 3 to 12 hours to dry. Apply
two coats. The oil is best applied to a surface at
moderate temperatures around 70° F. Allow oil to
cure for 3-4 days and a clear top coat or wax may be
applied over the dried oil. For indoor or outdoor use.

Smart Coat
Smart Coat is an easy to use urethane/resin sealant
for all metal surfaces. Once dry, it forms a durable top
coat that resists UV damage, humidity, abrasion, and
corrosion. Smart Coat has zero VOC, no odor, and is
non-hazardous. It is terrific over polished metal, rust,
and other patina finishes. It does not tend to change
the color of a patina unlike solvent clear coats.
