    Is this safe to use for chopsticks that will be used for eating?
    Community Answer
    No, this is a simple varnish that will come off when exposed to moisture, and even non-toxic PVA glue is not suitable for consumption.

  • Question
    How do I use varnish on furniture?
    Community Answer
    It's best to follow the care instructions on the varnish you buy. Do not use this DIY varnish, use specially labeled "furniture varnish" if you are painting your own furniture. This varnish, being diluted, rubs off easily and can wreck your furniture.

  • Question
    What is the best varnish for acrylic paint on air dry clay?
    Community Answer
    Use this varnish and it should work well. You can mix it with a bit of clear glue and not water. Also, if you have decorated your artwork with pens, they may smudge when touching the varnish, so be careful.
