Micador Crystal Clear is an Australian made, permanent spray varnish with a clear gloss finish, ideal for sealing and protecting a wide range of creative works in educational settings. Designed to preserve artwork and enhance presentation, this varnish coats drawings, non-watercolour artwork, prints, photos, ceramics and more, helping finished pieces look professional while being more resistant to handling. Its fast drying formula is practical for busy classrooms where artworks need to be displayed or stored quickly, while the non-yellowing and acid-free properties support long-term preservation—perfect for student portfolios, classroom displays and documentation projects. Suitable for use on pastel, charcoal, chalk and pencil works, it can also be applied to ceramics, documents and photos, making it a flexible resource across multiple curriculum areas. For best results, apply by spraying from 20–25 cm away using a side-to-side and cross-spray motion at a 45° angle to ensure even coverage and reduce patchiness.
