Hello all! (I hope I’m posting this in the right section of the forum)
I have been around the site for about 7 months now? and so I guess it’s about time to introduce myself and ask a question about my first PYO Keeper!
My name is Sarah, My birthday is April 16th 1993 and I found my first Windstone Edition over 5 years ago at an antiques mall.
It was a Ruby Fledge that was, and still is in MINT condition! I was amazed at how beautiful this little dragon was and I thought that because he was with a bunch of antiques that they were very hard to come by and that I would never see another one like it ever again, so I begged my mother to buy him for me and promised her I would pay it off over time. After carrying the little beauty around the store, scared to death my mother would say no to getting him she FINALLY gave in and I got to bring him home!
He didn’t come with a box but he did have a very old bent up tag and of course the pad with the Windstone logo on the bottom. I never really thought about it until like 4 YEARS LATER! that I could look online and see if there were more of these little treasures, and then I found WindstoneEditions and I new then that there was no going back… I would soon HAVE to become a collector!
As of now I have the Ruby Fledge and a blank PYO Keeper that I got for
Christmas, So far I’ve gotten the Dupli.color CLear Effex spray and I have a color scheme in mind for him. I did a practice paint on this weird pyo snowman thing that we had sitting in our basement for who knows how long… and today I tested the spray I got and it work’s GREAT!So my question is when I paint my dragon and spray him afterwords with the Clear Effex do I need to spray him again with a clear finish of some sort to protect the paint job?
Thank’s for your time if you read this!
🙂March 9, 2012 at 3:59 am #876296Congrats on the beginnings of a collection.
To answer your question…I don’t know. Hopefully someone has some experience with that particular product.
March 9, 2012 at 4:00 am #876297From my understanding the clear Effex is a top coat anyways so adding a clear coat shouldn’t be needed. I am sure if I am not correct on this someone will come along and correct me. 😉
Have a BLAST painting your Keeper…. collecting Windstones is addictive and painting them is also VERY VERY addictive!!!!!!! 😉

🙂the clear effex comes out thick so what I like to do is dust my sculpt or quickly spray it with the effex spray and then go over it with a clear coat so the coating looks uniform :3
Welcome to the forum 😀
March 9, 2012 at 6:19 pm #876323Welcome to the Windstone Nut House! 🙂 I do not have any info on this product but wanted to give you a warm welcome!
March 9, 2012 at 6:50 pm #876324I use gare acrylic spray as a topcoat (either matte or gloss depeniding on the personal preferance) but I generally do use some sort of top coat on the clear effects once it has dried, but I don’t think it is absolutely necessary. You can do it either way really, I just prefer the extra gloss and extra protection.
Got a busted Windstone?
