>>27346here. I Just wanted to say thanks. I found out that the Krylon acrylic coatings work for paintings as well, so I'm using the same finish on my papercrafts as I will be on my paintings to give them a topcoat. (It makes them a lot easier to clean when smoke, grease, and other things build up on the painted surface.) I've only used one called Crystal Clear so far, because I already know what the Matte acrylic coating is going to do. It says that it's a permanent, protective gloss finish. After giving all my models 2 coats of it they were pretty glossy.
When I was doing this I also realized something. Paper printed with red ink is really good for finding out if a product will make the color bleed on paper, and black is great for testing glossiness.
When I was at Michael's getting these, I looked through the varnishes as well, and there was one that was specifically made for paper, and it said it was an adhesive/varnish. I think the company was DecoArts or something like that. It was in a white bottle similar to tacky glue. I would have tried some, but it cost about as much as two cans of the krylon acrylic coating.
