SCORCH MARKER Makers Magic Sealer Gloss Finish 8oz - Clear Craft

In this review of the Makers Magic Sealer gloss finish, the bottom line is simple: crafters who need an all-purpose, waterbased clear glue and topcoat will appreciate its versatility and ease of use. The product works as a glue, decoupage medium, and mirror-like gloss sealer that dries clear for many projects, making it a practical choice for hobbyists working on wood, fabric, tumblers, puzzles, and small mixed-media pieces. It is especially useful when a quick, flexible, waterproof finish is more important than industrial-strength durability.

Key Features

• All-purpose glue and sealer: Acts both as a strong adhesive and a protective clear sealer so you can glue and finish with one product.
• Gloss finish: Brushes on smoothly to create a mirror-like glossy surface that enhances color and makes details pop.
• Waterbased and fast drying: Dries faster than many solvent-based finishes and cleans up easily with soap and water.
• Works on most materials: Bonds to wood, fabric, vinyl, glass, stone, leather, denim, canvas, felt and more for multi-surface craft use.
• Flexible and waterproof: Provides a flexible clear coat that resists water once fully cured, suitable for handled items like tumblers and puzzles.
• Tintable and food safe: Can be tinted and is described as food safe for incidental contact when used appropriately.

Who It's For

This sealer is a good fit for hobbyists, decoupage fans, and DIY makers who want a single bottle to glue, seal, and finish craft projects without harsh solvent odors. It suits people working with mixed materials-wood, fabric, glass, leather and more-who value a glossy aesthetic and straightforward brush application.

Those looking for an industrial-grade exterior finish or maximum abrasion resistance over years of heavy use should look elsewhere; durability reports are mixed and some users noted tackiness while drying or occasional bubbles, so heavy-duty marine or metal applications are beyond this product's intended hobby scope.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Versatile two-in-one glue and sealer reduces the number of products needed for craft projects.
• Gives a clear, glossy finish that enhances colors and detail when applied smoothly.
• Waterbased formulation cleans up with soap and water and has faster drying properties.

Cons

• Some users report temporary tackiness or mixed results on how crystal clear it dries, so test on scrap material first.
• A few customers noted odor and occasional bubble formation during application on larger surfaces.
