Sealant over Glaze

That`s true, generally. But I have used Opti-Seal over a well-cured Souveran and it was awesome in appearance.

I had been told by Optimum that you can use OS over carnauba. OS hasn`t been on long enough yet to comment from personal experience on durability/bonding, though....

The three main WOWO products, ZCS, OS, and UPGP can all be applied over nubas. I apologize I thought that was well known.

oily glazes and sealants don`t work toghether well. I`d suggest using an acrylic glaze like Danase Wet Glaze.

Even so, I suspect that durability is affected.

How or why?

I was planning on doing RMG > 476s > OS sometime

Hmmm... Foord for thought: Some other info in a couple posts by DavidB and Lynn (very helpful service!) gave me pause to not try UPGP over my Souveran:

We suspect the Ultima polymers, being far more dense, settle to the bottom of the mix, but we have no way of knowing this for sure. Again, we do not recommend it...

DWG, acrylic-based, is probably the safest glaze to use before sealing, according to an inquiry I made of Bob.

Even so, I agree with William Bonney`s reservations about durability due to possible bonding issues, so I`m experimenting...
