- READ MORE FOR MORE SEALING INFO ↴
Using some kind of spray sealant is a MUST during repainting Blythe, Monster High, or BJD dolls. Sealants help us to prepare our doll for the faceup by creating a kind of grainy surface so the paint particles will stick onto the surface. Spray sealants help us to seal our work too, making it to be more resistant against external factors (like smudging the paint during redressing the doll, etc).
My favorite spray sealant is Mr. Super Clear UV-cut Flat, but the technique is the same at all spray sealants. Occasionally I use the Gloss or the semi-gloss version of this brand, mostly if I want to achieve a more radiant look. But even after this glossy layer, I spray a very light matte layer, so the whole head won't be looking like a disco ball:)
Mr. Super Clear is perfect for every doll's type, including vinyl dolls (Monster High, Barbie), plastic dolls (Blythe and Pullip), and resin dolls (BJD).
I can recommend the Tamiya spray sealant too, but that one is not good for vinyl dolls (the surface will be sticky over a little time), so it is good only on plastic and resin dolls.
If you live in the EU, I can recommend this Spanish website to buy your spray sealant dolls.moe/en/43-fijadores-msc-
Spray sealants are all toxic, so a good respirator mask is a must-have. If you smell the spray, then it is a sign that you are using the wrong face mask or you need to change your filters.

Thank you for this video!! Super clear, easy to follow and understand. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!
I'm happy I could help:)
How did I miss this???? Oh Wow. I have only been doing 3 layers of Mr. Super Clear. You little Blythe turned out so adorable! ;-)
Thank you so much!:)
Thank you so much for explaining this all!!!🌼🌼🌼
I’ve heard that the humidity can affect this, is this true? If so, can you explain a little more to help me know what is too humid and what is good, or if any other temperature things affect it?
Spray at temperature around 18C ~ 26C. Humidity should be under 40% idealy but I did spray in humidity 50%. Humidity can cause shininess and MSC to "cloud" in some spots of the doll. Also spray outside and away from pets or people if you can. See the wind direction and spray in a way its not blowing into you. Leave to dry there. Dont bring into home until its dry if you can.
Thanks for the video☺, how long does it take to cure or dry?😮 Sorry, I couldn't translate in the video
Depending on the humidity. I leave the head for around 15-20 minutes to dry after each layer, and around 40-60 min before painting to it. So If I prepare the head for the first painting layer, I spray 1 layer, wait 15-20 minutes, spray another one, wait another 15-20 minutes and if I spray again I wait 40-60 minutes before painting on the first paint layer, so around 1,5 hours. This might vary on the thickness of your spraying layer, but I recommend spraying thin layers, not a lot at once.
Shes pretty. BTW thanks for the tip im scared to used mr.superCLear coz i dont have the mask that u used
The mask is not that expensive and it will last you for years!! You just have to change the filters, but I usually keep them up for 1,5-2 years. That's enough for lots of dolls!
Thank you for showing the process 🤍
I know there is not much video about this, so I thought I'll show how I am sealing the doll's face:) I'm glad you like my video!
❤ ❤ ❤
how fine is the sanding sponge you're using? and what store would sell them? I've been trying to find the right grit(?) if that makes sense but so far they seem to harsh for a faceplate
I recommend watching my "Tools and materials" video. There you can see everything I use.
I usually use 400 grit sandpaper to sand off the first layer, then I used a sponge that has 600 grit. The last step is a white magic sponge when I smooth out everything.
this is the video I mentioned to you czcams.com/video/IE6JUnUY6To/video.html
@@unniedolls OH! I didn't think to check your channel ofc >:0 thank you very much!
What's the difference between uv cut and normal matte msc?
As the name says, the UV-Cut has a UV filter, so the dolls won't get yellowy after a short period of time.
@@unniedolls ouh thankyou!!
Hola ,una pregunta: después de tantas capas de barniz queda con un poco de brillo verdad?
En el video dice que el brillo se debería ir cuando el sellante se seque a menos que uses uno brillante, creo que el barniz no se seca
Is it mandatory to add a layer of Mr super clear before painting? I painted a monster High doll without using it first, will I need to restart? Thank you!
It is mandatory!
The paint will stick WAY better! It is a nightmare to paint without it, plus the faceup won't be as resistant without it.
Is msc (once it is dry on a dolls face) safe for kids to play with the doll?
MSC is safe after drying, children can play with it. However, custom dolls become a piece of art after customization, they are not meant for children to play with. Some children are a bit aggressive with dolls, so they can't be gentle with the head and faceup. If you buy a custom doll for a child, they might ruin the new face fast.
does the uv version affect vinyl differently than the regular? such as the vinyl of a barbie head?
Using regular sprays might be causing yellowing on the head, especially if you keep the doll in a bright/sunny room. The UV version protects the head better from yellowing. I only use the UV version and I just saw a photo of my old work from 8 years ago. Someone bought it from the first owner and the new owner sent me a photo. There is no yellowing at all!! I was amazed, the doll looked like when I sold it.
I know that the UV version is a bit more expensive, but if you want that your work will be beautiful after 6-8 years too, and be quality work, you must have to use the UV version of the spray!
@@unniedolls oh, thank you so much! I really needed to know! BTW, this video was very helpful for me, so thnx for that too. 👏👏👏
@@Amberthecat334 I'm very happy my video was helpful:) Happy customizing ^.^
how long should you let each coat dry for?
Depending on the weather, I leave 30-60 minutes of drying time (between the fixing layers after the paint). The very first 2-3 spraying layer however is a bit different. I spray those layers every 10-20 minutes and leave them drying for 1 hour/1.5hour
@@unniedolls tysm!!
Does spraying it on top of paint or pencil disturbing it any way?
Not at all!
Hi mrs. This produk make the repain permanent???
yes, it makes to be permanent. However, I don't recommend these dolls for children, because it is permanent for adults who can take care of these dolls, but children are playing with them too much, bathing with them, etc, so in that case the spray can't hold that well, children can scratch the face easily.
@@unniedolls ok. Thank you so much.. 🙏 😊
What do use to clean the doll?
I'm sanding off the shiny surface with a sanding sponge.
How long I must leave doll to dry after layer?
Depending on the climate, but at least 30 minutes. If the climate is more wet, then more.
@@unniedolls mr. Super clear
Can it save factory paint on the doll?
I have really old and Expensive dolls
And I want to saved them, after a layer I want to fix their face up a little with acrylic paint and them give them another spray
I want to know, did it will work good?
Because I am scared to do it, I dont wanns breake anything
How do you erase the sanding marks? is there a method?
I'm using very fine sponges and sanding paper, so they disappear by sanding. You need to sand for hours to get a smooth result. First remove the deeper ones with 300-400grit, then use a 600grit sandpaper/sanding sponge, after that, you can use a 1000grit sandpaper/sponge or a white magic sponge, that will really smoothen the surface in the end.
@@unniedolls thank you so much :3
Hi, thanks for this video. i am starting on my doll repaint journey and watching as many videos and tutorials as i can. I noticed you're the only one who sands the doll face before spraying. Is this really necessary? I plan to repaint only Barbie dolls and i think they are too small for sanding. Is it okay if I not sand them? Thanks!
Blythe dolls have a different type of material, not vinyl like Barbie's head. You don't need to sand Barbie, Monster High, etc heads, but it was a great question!:) I have many videos for Monster High dolls too, I recommend those to you instead of my Blythe doll tutorials 🤗
@@unniedolls Ah i see. Thanks!
if you have any other questions, feel free to ask me, I'll try to help you:) @@moondustgirl2132
@@unniedolls Wow, thank you so much! Coz tbh, i'm getting tired watching so many vids. And most of the time, my questions aren't really getting answered. So being able to ask an expert like you directly would be a huge help!
I hope you don't mind if i shoot my first questions now. Can you blend 2 (or more) watercolor pencil colors on a particular area? Same question for the soft pastels. Can you blend 2 colors on the surface of the doll?
I ask this because I don't seem to have the color I need in the sets I bought. Because I'll be doing a character that does not wear makeup and I really do not know how i'll create the color for the lips.
Thanks in advance!
Do you recommend any other sealant spray?
Only for plastic and resin (not for vinyl like Barbie/Monster High) I can recommend Liquitex Matte Varnish or Tamiya, but Mr. Super Clear is much better than those!! Not surprised why Mr. Super Clear is the most used spray sealant, simply because it is the best. Unfortunately not everyone can get access to it, but if you can, please use that!
If you have an airbrush, there are techniques to make your own sealant, some people made a video about it already.
the website ask me 1000 euros for 1 can of mr super clean wtf
Which website? The website I recommend sells a can of Mr. Super Clear UV Cut for €13 and he is not shipping outside of the EU. So maybe you see €1000 only if you are not living in the EU, so it is discouraging you to buy.
What filter do you use? I've been trying to figure out which filter I need for the longest time. Everyone recommends something different. I'd just like to know exactly what filter someone uses.
You need filters that filter gas, like the A1 one that I use.
@@unniedolls I bought P95. Is that good?
@@jojomang3016 As I read, that filtre is not good since it filters only the particles, but not gas or smell. when you have a good filter, you shouldn't smell any smells at all.
@@unniedolls Can you please send me a link to the one that you bought? I can't find anything labeled as an A1 respirator filter on Amazon.
@@jojomang3016 Maybe try to use the "cartridges" word for searching the filters for your mask:) But if you don't have any, you"ll find many masks with filters (cartridges) in a set.
www.amazon.com/s?k=a1+filter+mask&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
Be attentive and buy filters only where you see that they will protect you against gas (Organic Gas & Vapor Protection)
Do I spray ontop of the resin for the lips
You spray onto the clean surface, so the paint can stick to the surface after the spray has dried. Then you can repeat the spraying/painting progress if you want a better result (1 layer of paint is usually not enough for a clean and beautiful result).
@@unniedollsi mean at the end at 2:19 you said you apply varnish to the mouth but you don’t say whether you spray the mr super clear on top of the mouth varnish or not
@@Bellsdollhouse oh, I paint with a brush and that is the last step. After everything dried.
Is it safe to paint the doll without a mask?
Painting is not an issue, only sanding and spraying. You can paint without a mask☺️
@@unniedolls Thank you so much ( :
Can you use an normal mask for this
No, because a normal mask can't filter the air And you still will be inhaling the spray.
Will a 3M paint project respurator work?
You have to wear a m3 mask because it dangrius for your lungs 😢
Yes, this is true.
Epic challenge... put subtitles on and read out loud... IF YOU DARE
