Give your creations the protection they deserve.

Eco Seal is a matte, waterproof sealant suitable for Gypsogem Eco Resin, gypsum, cement and cement-based creations. It helps create a smooth protective barrier over porous surfaces while preserving the natural tone, texture and fine details of your handmade pieces.

Eco Seal is ideal for sealing trays, pots, coasters, ornaments, décor pieces and gypsum candle vessels before pouring wax.

It has been tested by us and is commonly used by many of our clients for sealing gypsum candle vessels. For best results, always ensure your vessel is fully cured, correctly sealed and tested with your chosen wax, wick and fragrance combination before selling or gifting your finished candles.

Eco Seal gives a natural matte finish. It is also perfect for sealing surfaces before foiling, gold leafing or other decorative finishes.

Use it to seal, protect, embellish or prepare your gypsum and cement-based creations. Eco Seal adds durability and a refined matte finish, helping your handmade pieces look more polished and professional.

Please Note

  • This listing is for 1 x 1 litre Eco Seal only. Any products shown in the photos are for demonstration purposes and are not included.
  • If you are using a gypsum product that already includes a hardener or built-in sealing system, an additional sealant is generally not required for basic sealing.
  • Eco Seal can still be used when you want a matte sealed finish, smoother surface protection, foiling, gold leafing or other decorative detail work.
  • Eco Seal is not a wax, fragrance, wick or candle-making additive. It is used to seal the gypsum vessel before candle pouring.
  • Eco Seal does not make the finished candle vessel fireproof, heatproof, burn-proof or mark-proof.
  • As with any candle vessel, incorrect wick sizing, flame position, wax type, fragrance load or poor burn performance may cause heat marks, brown flame marks or damage to the vessel.
  • For candle vessel use, always test your finished candle as a complete system, including the gypsum mix, pigments, sealant application, wax type, fragrance load, wick size and burn performance before selling or gifting.

How to Use Eco Seal

Make sure your Gypsogem Eco Resin, gypsum or cement-based piece is fully cured, completely dry and free from dust before sealing.

Sponge Method

  1. Lightly dampen a clean sponge with water and squeeze out the excess.
  2. Dip the damp sponge into Eco Seal and squeeze out any excess product.
  3. Quickly and gently apply a thin, even layer over the surface.
  4. Avoid allowing the sealant to pool or dry halfway through application. Less is more for a smooth finish.
  5. Allow the first coat to dry fully before applying additional layers.
  6. Repeat if additional coverage or protection is required.

For pieces with a base, apply Eco Seal in sections. Do not rest a sealed wet surface on an unsealed or unfinished area until it is fully dry.

Eco Seal dries to a matte finish.

Please note: Applying Eco Seal with a dry brush or dry sponge may cause streaks, similar to traditional varnishes. The damp sponge method helps create a smoother and more consistent finish.

Dipping Method

For larger pieces, detailed shapes or when you want very even coverage, Eco Seal can also be used as a dip-coat.

  1. Mix 50% Eco Seal with 50% distilled water in a clean bucket.
  2. Dip your item into the mixture.
  3. Remove the item and wipe off the excess with a clean microfiber cloth.
  4. Allow the piece to dry fully before dipping again.
  5. Repeat the process if additional coverage or protection is required.

The dipping method provides even, streak-free coverage and is ideal for larger surfaces or pieces where brush marks may show.

Why use distilled water?

Distilled water contains no impurities, helping to keep your diluted mixture clean and reusable. Avoid contaminating the mixture with pigments, colourants, foil flakes or dust from your items.

Storage Tips

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Always close the cap tightly after use.
  • Do not freeze.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
