      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!

        Congrats on the beginnings of a collection.

        To answer your question…I don’t know. Hopefully someone has some experience with that particular product.

          From 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. πŸ˜‰

          Have a BLAST painting your Keeper…. collecting Windstones is addictive and painting them is also VERY VERY addictive!!!!!!! πŸ˜‰

            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

              I 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.
