### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the job
*by R***. on 12 January 2026*

Very good. I use them to coat my watercolour paintings and it does a nice job.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems to work well.
*by M***D on 11 December 2025*

This is good stuff you don't need much. Dab it on, rather than rub. There is a little bit of transfer depending on the medium you have used, which is why I dropped a star. I use pencil crayons and neocolors which have a tendency to transfer to the opposite page in my sketchbook. The longer you leave it to dry, the less transfer you have. You can buff it to a soft sheen or leave it matte.
