I am in the US and I found it also comes in a spray. The price is comparable to the liquid. Great find and thank you so much for all of your testing. Truly appreciate your taking the time and cost to help us with the struggle of coating our coasters. You Rock!!!
Yaaaay! You rock! You get the tenacity award of the year. My daughter got one in grade 7 so they do exist. Thank you Julie from all of the pourers out hear who have a fraction of your patience.
i use yacht varnish on all my acrylic painted things for outdoors..eg..rocks, wooden plaques, coasters, animal skulls..etc. and theyve stood the test of time..one snag..white tends to turn yellow. Other than that, its a nice gloass. Love your videos btw!
Oh, am am so thrilled also. My friends and I have so many coasters waiting for a finish that works. We have tried soooo many products but rings were always the result. Thank you so much for this information.
Heart felt thanks for discovering this product. And thanks to another artist for stating that it is in the USA as well. I found it! Wonderful motorcycle shop in Phoenix, AZ, where I live. They have ordered the product for me and I can hardly wait to try it!
How fabulous you found something that passes the hot cup test, well done. I will have to find my inner strength to wait such a time for hardening tho ( no patience!), will you show us the finish after another couple of coats tho, would love to see if surface evens out. 💕🦆
I found this on Amazon Canada, pretty expensive. They have it in the can and also aerosol cans. No one but paint pourers who have tried and tried different products would be excited, but I am! Thanks for this info! 🙂 💕
Many thanks for your research and sharing it .👍🏼 After seeing your video, I searched for this over here (The Netherlands) and found the same product, but another brand and in a spray can.( I resined a coaster once and that did not work either with a hot coffee mug..:( I’m following your channel for some time now and compliments for your beautiful artwork and your clear explanation of the ins and outs of fluid painting. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Holland🙋
I use this product on my stainless mugs ,just be sure to not leave the lid off at all as the air will harden the product also place a piece of glad wrap on container before replacing lid as it can stick if any liquid is between lid and container
This is Beautiful!!! I watched your other video when you poured these tiles and watched this. Love what you've done and how it turned out. Going to buy some tiles today and try my luck :) Thanks for sharing with us :)
I am going to buy a can and try it out. Found a motorcycle shop in Spring Hill Florida that carries the product. Will test it out and post my results. Like you I have tries so many products with no real success and I don 't like working with resin. Thanks, Jenny

I belong to an egging group (psansky) and some of the professional artists use this product. And I thought I'd share this post from that group. Because after much research and discussion this is a very dangerous product and should be used cautiously. "i felt uneasy about the KBS Diamond Coat being used in homes so I read the product directions and MSDS. Go ahead and use it to coat your eggs but make sure to either make a paint booth or apply the finish in a room that is not in your house. This is an automotive product and is meant to be applied by people wearing respirators and gloves. You are risking your health and the health of everyone you live with when you are using this product in your home. It is a petroleum and petroleum distillate product. Making a paint booth or fume booth is easy enough for any of you who already have dust boxes since it's the same concept: a box with ventilation to the outside. Please don't let the shiny bling distract you from safety. I am not saying don't use it. I am saying use it with precautions: respirator, gloves and preferably in the garage." Even while it's dry and curing its still releasing gasses (ie those bubbles) that are harmful to breathe, that you might not smell. Please wear gloves and at least safety glasses so the fumes won't damage your eyes.
@@dapeachmode There is a product call liquid glass by Tri Arts, gives a glass like finish and works great on sealing all kinds of surfaces, I`ve used it on mandala rocks, canvass art etc.. look it up on google, you might like this product
Hi Julie...I'm just about to start my fluid art journey and would like to start with coasters BUT I don't like a shiney relective top coat so am hoping you may have used a matt or satin finish and can please let me know what you used and the results. Appreciate your help as I wont start with coasters if I can't find a non glossy finish.😁🤞🤞
Great find, thanks. Just looked up the re-sellers and I can buy this locally in Townsville, yah! Usually the majority of what I want needs to be done online, by Mail.
Hi Julie, just come across this video….so pleased you found something that you found works…made me smile how excited you were. Just wondering if you are still using it to coat your coasters or if you have found something else that’s works. I ask because I can get KBS in the UK but it is around 60 Australian dollars (£30) for a 4oz tin…..so I would like to find an alternative but haven’t been able to as yet.
I live in the USA and this product is available to me on Amazon in a 16 ounce can for 38.95 or a spray can not sure how many ounces..that is the first place I checked but it showed other places it is available..thank you for all the leg work you did to get a product that works🌺🌺🌺
I recently bought the spray can version of KBS Diamond finish, I have problems with my Hot Tea Cup at 145 F. it had cured for a week, I have not tried the quart version. The spray has a very strong odor, it took a long time for the area to air out, even with the garage door open.
Very cool Julie! Thank you so much! And thank you to those of you who shared the warnings and hazardous aspects of this product. That's super important! I can't wait to give it a try!! WooHoo!!
Thank you Julie.. I'm just starting to get into these pours and love your work and research. I'm in Canada and hope I'll be able to find this finish. .maybe amazon..fingers crossed
Oh boy! Having problems with the KBS Diamond Finish. I am applying a small amount and applying it with my hands and those little bubbles are forming! Is there something else I need to do or not do? Perhaps - special cleaning prep? I don’t know what to do
Have you used silicon in the painting prior to applying this top coat? When I use resin coating I have to make sure all silicon on the surface has been removed first. I wash it off with shampoo
Thanks for sharing this video! I made some coasters with decoupage technique. I sealed the surface with Mod Podge for 4-5 times. After one week, I used Dupli-Color Varnish and let the tiles to cure for a week. Then when I put a very hot mug on the tile, it didn't stick but there was a deep circle. Could you please tell me what the problem was?
Wow! Thank you SO much for the tutorial!!!! I do have a question- I bought the KBS Diamond Finish. I did tape the back of the coasters before I poured. Should I keep tape on back while I apply the small amounts of the finish or take tape off before applying the finish? I assume I add the cork after all coating is finished…I appreciate your advice! I love you work!
Happy that you were able to find a solution for your coasters. Shame it costs so much. LOL, you made me laugh when you said "not going to read this, the writing is too small". hahaha been there, done that.
I have also had trouble with small print on product lables in supermarkets, a solution that works for me is to use my mobile ph to take as clear a picture of the lable as I can, then zoom up on the picture to read the formerly invisible lines/ink. Warning; supermarket staff tend to ask if there's anything wrong. I just tell them, "Yeah, with my eyes!", they're used to me now. My reason for doing this is twofold, my eyes are not as good as they used to be, and there are often ingredients my wife reacts badly to, so if I'd like to try a product different to our normal habits, I scrutinise the ingredients with my mobile camera come electric microscope first. Works a treat, for me.
There is a KBS site for the USA at: www.kbs-coatings.com They have the Diamond finish in can or aerosol. The site advertises they do free shipping for all US states (excluding Hawaii) for orders over US$50 and only US$5 if under US$50. They also service Canada. Not sure if they ship further than that. They also have a XTC (Xtreme Temp Coating) clear topcoat available for the US market (also in aerosol or can) which isn't listed for sale in Australia, only the coloured coatings in the XTC range. This product has an even higher temp withhold range than their Diamond Coating.
Absolutely love your artwork have only just started doing this as well as alcohol art too would you be able to use this on coasters that have been done with alcohol ink after you have used a spray varnish
Hi Julie, I love watching your videos and just came across this one by chance. That product looks amazing, it would be so much cheaper than resin. Is there an odour when dry?
I use KBS Coatings 8114 Clear High Gloss Diamond Finish Clear Aerosol and it works great. I use a respirator mask. I apply 3 or 4 coats. Cups don't stick it out.
Hi Julie! thanks for sharing this, really helpful. do you know if this works only when the varnish is warm and the coaster is placed in a warm room to cure after application? I live in England where its mostly always cold and found resin doesnt work well here unless its warm to aid with curing coasters perfectly. would appreciate your thoughts and feedback. thank you :-)
They are on Amazon (US) Prime shipping even ... This is so cool ... But with the cost of this, is it more cost effective than resin? or is there another reason to avoid resin?
I suspect it’s way cheaper to use than resin. Easy to apply. Only caveat I found on forums is to make sure you be careful closing can up. It cures via moisture removed from air. If you leave too much air inside of can it will solidify. One gentlemen recommended using a product called Bloxygen. He said to put lid on the gently tip open the lid and spray the Bloxygen in. The Bloxygen is Argon gas and protects the product. Google KBS Diamond Finish clear coat. Read all forums on it. Even fishing lure makers use this. I ordered both products plus a respirator as I have asthma. Would need this if I did resin anyway. But this will work great. I wonder if using silicone if we’d need to clean that off since it requires a solvent for clean up. Maybe another experiment?
That’s great news, thank you! When you put the resin on did you have tiles taped underneath still or did you remove before you applied the resin? I assume I put cork on back after resin is done?
@@Cole_6073 I am confused by your question. I suggest you search out some videos which actually are about covering coaster/tiles with resin, that would give you better information.
How many coaster do you think you would coat with a 500ml tub? I know different sizes will affect the total amount but lets just say your typical 4inch by 4inch tile? I have tried some other spray on acrylic enamel but so far not good for the hot cup test :( So looking for something else now. I did also only give them a week till I tested them so still could be fine after another week or so :/
How hot is that cup, though? I don't see steam coming up out of the liquid. My hot tea is made with boiling water. I'm not convinced it wouldn't stick, just like everything else I've tried on my decoupage coasters. I wish I could get a small sample so I don't end up spending on a product that doesn't work for me.
Question: Do you prepare your tiles the same as canvas? Alcohol clean, corn starch for coconut milk, etc.? I ordered the Varnish and expect it this week so I want to be ready.
Hi Julie, this is a fantastic result so I really don't want to put a dampener on it, but I have to ask: I'm pretty sure that this is first trial that you have put milk in the cup with the coffee which would have reduced the heat of the cup. So not quite the same conditions for the test. Have you tried the hot cup test without milk in the cup? Thanks Julie
Go to the kbs site and read about it. It says it withstands heat up to 250 degrees F. Boiling water is 212 degrees so this product should work with ease and since it's the consistency of water and it says not to put it on thick it should end up being cheaper than resin with the same look.
Congratulation!!! Thank you Lady, you found the solution! Please, can you just describe the brand and the Name of it one more time? I must try to get it in Germany. Thank you so much! I did some tiles, and if it works, I can put things on them without making a desaster.
@@angedreamdancer6 Vielen Dank! Ja, das ist kein billiges Hobby. Aber wenn es tatsächlich gut ist, muss ich das Produkt auch noch haben. Ich bemale gerne Fliesen, und damit könnte man sie tatsächlich außer für reine Dekozwecke mal als Untersetzer z.B. für eine Vase, Kaffeekanne o.ä. benutzen.
I'm wondering if you put one coat of this varnish on a cured resin coaster, if that would work? I have a few sticky resin coasters here. Maybe one coat of this varnish would work. Has anyone tried that?
We can get it in the states from amazon for $38.95. It also comes as a spray for $19.95 and says it’s heat resistant to 250 degrees F. The pint had bad reviews because of the lid getting stuck to the can.
It is. The label looks a bit different but it’s the same manufacturer. I’m thinking I’d like to try the spray can! I posted a picture on your Facebook page.
Definitely wear an organic vapour filter mask if spraying either aerosol or through a spray gun. A Sundstrom Basic Box Respirator Gas Mask Kit (SR217 Organic Gas filter) is a good choice. Disposable organic filter respirators are also available. Go to a specialist safety shop or an automotive paint shop.
I am in the US and I found it also comes in a spray. The price is comparable to the liquid. Great find and thank you so much for all of your testing. Truly appreciate your taking the time and cost to help us with the struggle of coating our coasters. You Rock!!!

Hi, how is it going with KBS ? still using it? I've been meaning to try it more and more lately! Thanks for the video.
So, to be clear, when you put silicone in your paint, with this varnish, you don't need to clean the coaster before coating with the varnish?
Happy that you were able to find a solution for your coasters. Shame it costs so much. LOL, you made me laugh when you said "not going to read this, the writing is too small". hahaha been there, done that.
I bought a pair of magnifying glasses (+2.5) to read tiny writing on containers, and sometimes that’s not enough!

I suspect it’s way cheaper to use than resin. Easy to apply. Only caveat I found on forums is to make sure you be careful closing can up. It cures via moisture removed from air. If you leave too much air inside of can it will solidify. One gentlemen recommended using a product called Bloxygen. He said to put lid on the gently tip open the lid and spray the Bloxygen in. The Bloxygen is Argon gas and protects the product. Google KBS Diamond Finish clear coat. Read all forums on it. Even fishing lure makers use this. I ordered both products plus a respirator as I have asthma. Would need this if I did resin anyway. But this will work great. I wonder if using silicone if we’d need to clean that off since it requires a solvent for clean up. Maybe another experiment?
I'm guessing this is appealing to apply onto resin things such as ashtray to increase the heat sensitivity
Persistence paid off in the end, yay! Mind you, at $59 a can, it might end up being cheaper to use resin...

@@angedreamdancer6 Vielen Dank! Ja, das ist kein billiges Hobby. Aber wenn es tatsächlich gut ist, muss ich das Produkt auch noch haben. Ich bemale gerne Fliesen, und damit könnte man sie tatsächlich außer für reine Dekozwecke mal als Untersetzer z.B. für eine Vase, Kaffeekanne o.ä. benutzen.
@@gabyma8820 you're welcome 😊
Yay
This product can be found on Amazon in the US. Do you still use this or have you moved on to something else?
Can it be used on small paintings as well?
I'm wondering if you put one coat of this varnish on a cured resin coaster, if that would work? I have a few sticky resin coasters here. Maybe one coat of this varnish would work. Has anyone tried that?
So, I could ask for Automotive varnish?
I just ordered a pint from Amazon.
can you use this on canvas? I want to make my painting super shiny
We can get it in the states from amazon for $38.95. It also comes as a spray for $19.95 and says it’s heat resistant to 250 degrees F. The pint had bad reviews because of the lid getting stuck to the can.
Is it the same brand?
It is. The label looks a bit different but it’s the same manufacturer. I’m thinking I’d like to try the spray can! I posted a picture on your Facebook page.
Careful with the spray... They recommend an oxygen supplied organic particulate mask to apply the arasol
Cory Claypool oh wow. Thanks for that info!
Definitely wear an organic vapour filter mask if spraying either aerosol or through a spray gun. A Sundstrom Basic Box Respirator Gas Mask Kit (SR217 Organic Gas filter) is a good choice. Disposable organic filter respirators are also available. Go to a specialist safety shop or an automotive paint shop.
in USA can buy from automotive shops or amazon
There is a product I use to seal art work, mandala rocks etc. it`s called liquid glass by Tri Arts, works really well
Holly does the liquid glass work well for heat
@@bev2hawky No I would think not, its a sealer.. you could look it up and see, not really sure, sorry
Thank you
