ProtectaClear 12 Oz. Clear Aerosol Can, Protective Coating for Metal (Net Weight)

Another customer of this product told me about it and I’m so glad she did! Works very well on my jewelry chains to protect them from oxidation. Easy to use and goes on and dries clear. The chains in the pic have been sprayed and you would never know it but they are protected from tarnish.

Two years ago I spent a lot of time on this Bankers lamp and Spot light bringing them back to what I consider almost original condition. Before salt in the air or peoples hand oils started to turn them back to a deep brown I needed protection and this is it Everbrite ProtectaClear. Two years later and still look great not bad for a 110-year-old banker’s lamp and an 84-year-old Navy PT boat spotlight. Applied correctly I would think it will last a good long time. It seems to have excellent adhesion I will know if it gets nicked or chipped because it will very shortly start to turn brown where chipped. No more polishing just spray with Windex. Yea!

Great. Product Clear, clean , works amazing

I used this to coat a silver vase from ancient times. Every once in a while the vase would be discolored from oxidation. So I decided to try and coat it and see what Happens. Firstly, remember unlike other spray cans, where you’re encouraged to shake before use, do not do that with this. It will cause the formation of bubbles to occur. The result is one nasty finish and one very difficult night of cleaning. Also remember that this stuff will run easily, so be careful to not spray anything closer then two feet. Gentle back and forth will do. Do not stop the movement and allow any concentration of material o develop in or on one spot. This will again result in a run. The product advertises that it is self leveling, to which I would disagree, since one could think of a run as self leveling, to which would be a bad thing if spraying vertical. Anything horizontal is perfect. Lastly consider doing it in a place free of dust or any floating particles, as they will be forever glassed with your item. It is also advised to do multiple light sprays then one heavy coating. As that will again cause runs. As far as the quality, it is truly great, it is air tight, preventing any oxidation. It will not peel or break. Remember to never apply it to surfaces that are painted! It is intended for use on bare metal surfaces only.

I would suggest getting the larger 12 ounce can if you can afford it because a lot gets wasted when you spray. It's the only thing that works on chains, though, as dipping them gets them all gummed up like bubbles in a bubble blower. And make sure you use a silicone mat or something similar to spray onto. I used a cardboard box the first time and the color bled onto my jewelry from the box.
