Question from TA
Hi Debra, I ‘ve seen a variety of ornament craft ideas, in which an ornament is made of clay, salt dough, etc, and then covered with a clear coat. I’d like to try something like this with my child, and the clay and salt dough seem quite safe, but I’m wondering if you can recommend a safe product for the clear coat. I think the ones most people are using are probably an aerosol, toxic product. I’m not sure where to find a safe one for this type of crafts. Even though it’s now past Christmas, this applies to other crafts throughout the year as well.
Debra’s Answer
I don’t know of a spray clearcoat that’s not toxic.
Readers, any ideas for this?
Do you know of any non-aerosol products? I suppose many craft projects would allow brush application of a clear-coat product.
I would apply a finish with a brush. Any spray will make particles of finish that you can easily inhale.
