Sealing a skull

You can seal a skull that way just fine. I've found, however, that most customers rarely want their skulls sealed (they don't like the glossy look and neither do I), so check with them first. Also, I wouldn't recommend painting the skull if you are going for a white skull finish. The whitening phase is an important phase of the process, helping to sanitize and clean the skull. Also, most customers prefer the whitened look over the weathered, unwhitened look (again, ask your customers... there is an appeal to each finish). The painted-white look just appears fake, and it is not favored by the majority. I'd ask your customers what they want as they're the one's who will be paying for it, but my opinion is to definitely peroxide whiten the skull and leave out the sealer.

 

I seald mine withkrylon crystal clear non yellowing sealer works fine

 

Mop-n-glow for wax.

 

good idea never thought of that

 

I seal mine with WASCO fish sealer. Light coat. Slight shine but not glossy. My customers like it. But as was mentioned before, ask the customer what they prefer and give them what they want. Different strokes for different folks.

 

I had someone suggest using 50/50 white glue and water mix. Tried it out, and I like it. There is no shine to it, and it is cheap.

 

That's what I use HillbillyAndy...It works, it don't shine, and its cheap...my three favorite flavors!!!

 

Does anyone use quick shine, to seal the skull?

 

You can try some on a few test skulls and see if you like what it does. Sounds like a product similar to Mop N Glow. You can also search the archives on here for .. Sealing Skulls. Search only in the Skulls and Skeletons section and you will come up with many posts.

 

Thank you, so much for your help.
