Re: [Rock Painting] Amazing!/Jan

Hi

I use the Delta Ceramcoat Sealer on my rocks and flagstone.  It gives it a nice seal and maintains the natural look of the stone.  It makes the paint flow really nice on the surface too.

Then when I am done painting I use the Ceramcoat Varnish over the paint and it protects the stone and paint.

As far as taking stones from beaches, I think most places its ok to do, as long as you only take a few.  I have done that here around our local creeks.  Sometimes state parks and federal parks are more picky about taking things out, but I think an open beach would be up for grabs...so to speak!

Hope that helps.

I have spent a couple of hours looking over the rocks in the photo
gallery and I am just amazed.

I have a question, when I painted my first one, which is located here:

http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/rockpainting/photos/view/cb02?b=19

I used a coat of poly right on the rock at first because I wanted the
actual rock to show and I couldn't get the paint to glide as much as I
wanted to make my leaves and flowers. Is that the "right" thing to do?
Is there another way that is better?

I want these to last. I did give three coats of poly on it after it
was all finished.

Thanks for your input. I can't wait to get started on more. In early
June we are going on vacation for two weeks to a beach and there are
always so many great rocks there, I wonder what are the rules about
rock picking. Can you just take a beach rock without someone getting mad?
