And when I suggested Krylon I should have thought about the fact that 90% of my work is on resin. I've not used it on vinyl so I have no experience. Sorry, I should have considered that before posting.


Haha I only know cus I've tried so many different things on so many different types of dolls. Have yet to see a sealant that works on everything, or even works the same way twice if the weather is a little different. The only thing that I've seen work pretty consistently is the airbrush method, and I can't say for sure because it wasn't me doing it. (the joy of having two doll collectors in one house, there is always an experiment going on somewhere)

According to artist, health and safety advocate for artists, and world renowned industrial hygienist Monona Rossol, "non-toxic" generally means "never tested". Due to the way the laws have been written many consumer artist supplies can be labeled as non-toxic, but if the exact same material is used in industry, OSHA requires a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) be provided and that MSDS would list the material as toxic. Even though the label says "non-toxic", it wouldn't hurt to treat all artist supplies as toxic.
