Stainless heat treated
Hi,
I have been heat treating some stainless steel, with great results. I would like to lacquer the piece to protect the vibrant colours but when I use ProtectaClear it seems to dull down the colours, especially the blues and purples. Can you recommend another finish?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam,
This effect shouldn’t occur with ProtectaClear. It dries to create a fully crystal clear protective coating. Often dulling can be caused by surface contaminants, uneven application, or residual greases on the heat-tinted stainless steel prior to coating.
Our suggestion is to remove the current layer, deep clean the stainless steel surface, and reapply ProtectaClear.
Hope it helps :)
