1. What is JENOLITE Glitter Spray Clear Sealant?
JENOLITE Glitter Spray Clear Sealant is a clear lacquer infused with fine glitter particles, available in Gold or Silver. It provides a sparkling, reflective finish while protecting the surface beneath. Ideal for arts, crafts, and decorative projects, it can be applied to a wide range of materials for both indoor and outdoor use.
2. What colours are available?
The Glitter Spray Clear Sealant is available in:
- Gold Glitter Clear Lacquer
- Silver Glitter Clear Lacquer
Both versions contain fine glitter flakes suspended in a clear lacquer base for a subtle, elegant shimmer.
3. What finish does it provide?
It leaves a clear, glossy lacquer finish with fine glitter particles that catch and reflect light beautifully. The finish is decorative yet protective — sealing the surface and offering light weather resistance.
4. What surfaces can it be used on?
JENOLITE Glitter Spray is a multi-surface formula, suitable for:
- Wood
- Metal
- Glass and mirrors
- Ceramics and stone
- Paper, card, and fabrics
- Plastics and wicker
- Dried flowers and artificial arrangements
It can be used on both painted and unpainted surfaces. The clear lacquer allows the base colour to show through while adding a sparkling glitter overlay.
5. Do I need to apply a primer first?
No primer is required for most decorative uses. However, if applying to bare metal or untreated porous surfaces (like raw wood or stone), a light primer coat may enhance adhesion and finish consistency.
6. Can it be used outdoors?
Yes. JENOLITE Glitter Spray is formulated with a durable clear lacquer that provides weather resistance and protects against moisture and UV exposure. For long-term outdoor applications, an additional layer of clear protective lacquer can be applied over the glitter finish.
7. How do I apply JENOLITE Glitter Spray?
Step 1 – Prepare the Surface
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or loose material.
- For previously painted surfaces, lightly abrade with fine sandpaper for improved adhesion.
Step 2 – Shake Thoroughly
- Shake the can vigorously for at least 2 minutes to fully mix the glitter and lacquer.
- Repeat shaking regularly during use to prevent glitter settling.
Step 3 – Apply Sparingly
- Spray from 15–20cm away using smooth, horizontal strokes.
- Apply several thin, even coats rather than one heavy layer.
- Allow 10–15 minutes between coats.
- Apply additional coats to build up the desired level of glitter and shine.
Step 4 – Drying Time
- Touch dry: Approximately 15–30 minutes.
- Fully hardened: Allow 24 hours before handling or overcoating.
Step 5 – After Use
- Invert the can and spray for 2 seconds to clear the nozzle.
- Store in a cool, well-ventilated area below 50°C and out of direct sunlight.
8. How many coats should I apply?
You can apply as many thin layers as needed to achieve your preferred glitter intensity. Usually, 2–4 coats give a balanced, even sparkle. Thinner coats prevent clogging and ensure an even glitter distribution.
9. Will it change the base colour of my surface?
No — the lacquer is clear, so the underlying colour remains visible. The glitter overlay adds a shimmering finish that enhances but does not cover the base tone.
10. Can it be used as a topcoat over paint?
Yes. It works beautifully as a decorative topcoat over painted or coloured surfaces, adding sparkle without obscuring the paint beneath.
11. Is it suitable for use on fabrics or paper?
Yes, it can be used on fabrics, paper, and card, but results may vary depending on porosity. Always test a small area first to ensure desired adhesion and appearance.
12. Is the finish waterproof?
Once cured, the lacquer forms a moisture-resistant, protective coating. It can withstand light moisture exposure, making it suitable for decorative outdoor use, though it is not intended for continuous submersion or heavy water contact.
13. How do I prevent nozzle blockages?
After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear any residue. This ensures smooth spraying in future applications.
14. How should I store the can?
Store upright in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Do not store at temperatures above 50°C.
15. Coverage
A single 400ml can covers approximately 1–2 square metres, depending on surface type, application thickness, and the number of coats applied.
16. What are typical uses for JENOLITE Glitter Spray?
