What is your preferred sealant? I am noticing some work much better than others, but I don't have the $ to try a ton of them out waiting for one that works well. Not to mention the frustration that comes with trying and failing.

@ChriaAnne sometimes I use Liquitex matte gel to seal my work or DuraClear Gloss varnish by Deco Art. The DuraClear also come in matte varnish. It depends on whether you want your finished product to have a glossy/shiny look or not. Hopefully this helps. There is a spray on varnish too and I normally use the spray when working on canvas.
