Bonjour, je suis à la recherche d\'un vernis qui conviendrait afin de protéger des tissages de perles miyuki, qui perdent de leur couleur après quelques jours. Elles ne sont pourtant en contact ni avec l\'eau, ni avec la peau, étant fixées sur des joncs.. Merci d\'avance pour votre réponse ! Cordialement

Bonjour Audrey,
Vous pouvez tester ce produit-ci : https://www.perlesandco.com/Colle_Vernis_Diamond_Glaze_x60ml-p-30227.html ou celui-ci : https://www.perlesandco.com/Laque_de_finition_brillante_25g_x1-p-77726.html
Mais cela rigidifiera votre création. Pour pallier à ce problème la marque Miyuki a sorti de nouvelles perles avec un vernis pré-appliqué, ce sont les duracoat : https://www.perlesandco.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=miyuki+delicas+duracoat&save=
