Coating Sandblasted Surfaces with Liquid Luster
Keep a Long-term Shine
When you work with sandblasted glass surfaces, you know how quickly those surfaces can go from a lovely frosted look to a mess of fingerprints, water spots, dust, and grime. It can quickly ruin the attractive finish of your glass.
Liquid Luster is a fantastic alternative to "quick and dirty" fixes like armor-all and oils for sealing sandblasted surfaces and fingerprint-proofing the surface for years to come. It's effortless to apply and covers a large amount of material quickly and efficiently.
Proper Prep is Everything
Liquid Luster is all about speed, so proper preparation ahead of time is essential. It's best to try to have several pieces to work on at once to maximize the liquid luster you use in one sitting.
Having your materials set up ahead of time and ensuring you have enough wipes available to clear off the excess Liquid Luster on your pieces will go a long way towards having a clean, streak-free appearance on your glass that you'll be proud of.
Wipe On, Wipe Off
It was good enough for The Karate Kid, and it will be good enough for you.
Liquid Luster is super simple to work with: Wipe On. Wipe Off. The goal is to quickly fill all the cracks, crevices, and fissures that sandblasting creates on the surface of your glass and then quickly wipe away any excess material so you end up with a clean, even surface on your glass. F
or deeper sandblasting or for surfaces that need to have a brighter sheen, you can apply multiple layers of Liquid Luster to achieve varying effects on your glass. You can even use Liquid Luster after Vari-Etch acid etching to achieve a greater lustrous glow to your glass.
Liquid Luster is an air-cured material, so you don't have to worry about hardeners or mixing, but you must be careful about your unused material. Once you empty the Liquid Luster container, you'll leave space in the container where air will get trapped and continue to cure the material.
One of the easiest ways to mitigate that issue is to use glass marbles to raise the level of your Liquid Luster back to the top of the can after you use it. You'll trap less air in the container and keep your Liquid Luster viable for extended periods.
